I've walked away, For another day to join a dance for a better world To express the anguish for the hate today of a new generation's rise.
I've watched them build a cage around the world To save the sky for the human mind. I break down and cry, And wish for more drugs, To let me dance through other, safer worlds.
Take this cry from me, The sense of all the sanity keeps falling from my hands, I cannot see the sun anymore. I have to hold my head still. Dead still. Real still. Take this file away. The burning of the Atlantic sea And its beautiful cry for death. I saw angels tear of their own wings, I have to keep them from falling, falling, falling I have to keep them from falling
One minute of silence for the world and For the animals that are so full of pain. I saw a bear, made mad for a beggars dance. Animals mutilated, abused, murdered. Let us learn. I saw a child crying her youth away. A war just happened to her. Nothing to do about it? Brutality, endlessly. Just happened to her. Let us learn. I hear people play down all that happened in these filthy wars. To long ago, yet It still happens, Ignorance? Oh we ignore. Back then when blood was cheap, What have we learned?
One more minute of silence for a man who dared to stand up. He left these lands of orange with a bleeding heart. They murdered his freedom of speech. Shot down, murdered. Let us learn, let us pray.
