lyrics

There is a darkened scene
Woken from your dream
flashing lights and screams are all around
You feel like you won't live
Is this really it?
Have words expired when like minds bomb your home?

But its ok cos there's daylight
just another infight
waking in my mind
ther streets still echo to the hum of morning life
i'll face inner struggles and feel into my song
Go to sleep tomorrow, Is my world Ok?

Verse 2
Another darkened scene
Now this can't be a dream
flashing lights and screams are in my house

Chorus 2
And now there is no daylight
the overwhelming fear makes senses stand alert
The streets now echo to the sound of tanks and guns
Can i face this outer battle
Now i'm on my own
I can feel whats going on but is our world ok?

Bridge
The art of words dissolved have clearly now made way
what can we teach our kids, if all is resolved this way?

Chorus 3
So i'm looking down from heaven's ground
to see what's down below
A spinning ball of life perched on the precipise
maybe one day they'll learn what they've always known
connect together and you'll all see earth,
As home

its our only home
don't go wrong
be as one
feel my bones
