lyrics

SONG ON THE WIND

Come quickly to the window
I see fire in the streets below
Riots and seeds of revolution
Borne on ones and zeros

I see men disfigured by desperation
Ruled by lusts and appetites
Like the coyote and his carrion
The junkie and her spike

I see a young mother and her child
Forsaken in the night
While the preacher primps like a prom queen
Until his hair is just right

I see black rain stain the concrete
Village woken by the turbine whine
In the silence after the strafing
I hear the mother's cry

I see em storming the beach at normandy
Young men - born to die
I see jesus in the garden
Asking his father, “why?”

I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
Keeps me hoping, working, and pressing on

I felt like a unwelcome stranger
In my own home
Laying next to her in our bed
Never felt so alone

Our hearts were cold and our souls
Were torn end to end
But we made it through
Never going back again

I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
Keeps me hoping, open, and healing

I held my newborn daughter
As she first opened her eyes
I held my grandmother's hand
As she breathed her final sigh

When I see all my days behind me
Lightning flash of my lifespan is through
In your hour of darkness
I hope that you

Hear a song on the wind
Hear a song on the wind
Hear a song on the wind
Keeps you hoping and working

I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
I hear a song on the wind
Keeps me singing, hoping, and pressing on

I hear it in the green room
Hear it in the delivery room
In the supermarket
In line at the dmv
On the boardwalk
I hear it right now
Can you hear it right now?
