Desperate fading children waiting
All of the pieces are gone
Loving, hating hesitating
All of the pieces are gone
Hope is not all lost
We can be the change
Love at every cost
Slowly rearrange
Desperate fading children waiting
All of the pieces are gone
Loving, hating hesitating
All of the pieces are gone
Visualize the path
Treacherous but true
We keep marching on
Set our sites on you
Desperate fading children waiting
All of the pieces are gone
Loving, hating hesitating
All of the pieces are gone
We shall overcome...
When the storm clouds
Gather round
The soldiers marching
On the battleground
Don’t you hold back
Or pull a punch
Wanna hear the bones break
I wanna feel the crunch
I will promise
To do the same
Yes I will cut you
I will scream your name
But when it’s over
The hardest blow
Lay down my sword
And just let it go
Clench your fist and shout aloud
Go on and cut me to the bone
Let the blood begin to flow
Whet your sticks and stones
Say what you gotta say
Then let a breath be drawn
the sweetest dawn
After the storm has gone
A FORTUNE TOLD
WHEN YOUR FORTUNE IS TOLD BY A GYPSY SO OLD
AND SHE REACHES INSIDE TO YOUR SOUL
YOUR ALONE IN A ROOM THERES A SMELL OF PERFUME
AND A DOLL WITH ONE ARM ON A CHAIR
AND YOU DON’T QUESTION WHY YOUR ADRIFT ON A RIDE
AND A VOICE IN THE WIND WHISPERS ALL OF YOUR SINS
UP ABOVE HANG THE STARS LIKE A FIRE ON MARS
AND YOUR STUNNED BY THE LIGHTS FROM THE CARS
YET THE COLD AIR IT LEAVES A STING ON THE LAND
LIKE A CLOCK IN YOUR HAND TELLING TIME
AND YOU DON’T QUESTION WHY YOUR ADRIFT ON A RIDE
AND A VOICE IN THE WIND WHISPERS ALL OF YOUR SINS
WHEN YOUR FORTUNE IS TOLD BY A GYPSY SO OLD
AND SHE REACHES INSIDE TO YOUR SOUL..
