Outside of my room I wake to birds chirping
Watching the clouds as the day breaks open
I rub my eyes, how long was I sleeping?
Up on my feet, 'cause I've made it home
I remember a time where we fancied a plenty
We'd walk in the streets and go dancing
I remember the words, the few and the many
The words unspoken, fallen and fleeting
They took all the glass and I decided to skip town
The cold front set in and it started to come down
They stole my father, he's no longer here
To call this place home, it's rather fearful
In the face of danger we turned against ourselves
How quickly we've fallen, this strong ensemble
Just brush ourselves off, the noonday approaches
The sky sends its love, and everything's alright. |
