Silent
Like extras in an old western movie
Covered in chaos and dust
Arms entwined
Tumbling down the mountainside
We cannot deny it, and we cannot hide
The fear of discovery
The quick rewind
What the mirror will find
The Masai and the supermodel know
The camera lens can steal your soul
Take a picture of this madness
Take your place among the stones and statues
The bravest glow in the light of the summer
growing green at the roots and carrying the tune
To the real reason why
We are all afraid to die
The ending we know
It’s the same old show
The villain gets what you would expect
A bullet to the heart or a noose around the neck
Creeping up through the valley
Crawling on hands and knees
Born screaming our lungs out
Called from distance galaxies
Shot through the dark eternal abyss
Up from the agony of mother’s cries
Birth pangs dragging our new souls to the light
Here we find this truth between us
Hoping if we don’t say it
We won’t have to explain it
The hero rides in on a white horse
Whistling a love song
When you’re gone don’t be gone too long
When you coming home
When you coming home
When you coming home
You don’t know how far I’ve been
Waiting by the kitchen door, low light flickering through the window in the night storm
Sister wind, father sun, brother moon, change the tune, beat the drum
What will we become
Can you see me waiting here
