I am reaching, god I know it
by the tendons creaking, through miles of road, is there a
Fool among us who has an explanation
Why we curse ourselves to pain awaken
A call to arms for those who will not stand to suffer
You had told me, but I failed to listen
Years convinced we must prove ourselves,
forgiven only by the grace of words around me
and a luck untarnished by the memory
Of the ones who broke our spirit and our thunder
We are but children caught in our dreams
In world of war and evil schemes
Call us to wake, how might we change
With conscious eye and fear restrained
Run my daughter, you are safe with Mother
Flee this country, go and find another
Know that I will join you at the close of this
That we may each share a freedom kiss
A world awaits of hopeful wonder
Dare you to ask, and dare me to tell
What cause is worth this living hell?
An end to the one that made us weep
And let it come not in his sleep, but on his knees

That was really pretty music and also deeply insightful, lyrically.

Gorgeous, kept me entranced through the end. Thoughtful lyrics, tricky melody.

A beautiful song about a very dark topic. We are but children caught in our dreams, such a poignant truism. Your melody is mellifluous and heart achingly haunting.
