lyrics

Papa said there’d be times like this
But you could put things right with a smile and a kiss
He never made it to the present day
But if he saw us now, what would he say?

Expectations overblown
Limitations not well known
Aspirations carved in stone
Well it just turned out this way

The preacher told me I should trust in fate
To take me through until that terminal gate
I was a young man when I read that sign
Dedicated to a waste of time

And now creation’s on the line
And evolution at the proper time
So absolution can’t be mine
Or anyone at all…

No more deception on the battlefield
A safe harbour is just revealed
Out of the sun upon that fateful day
We watched the sinner as he slipped away

There must be some way we can make it right
See eye to eye and don’t turn down the light
Our little world goes spinnin’ on and on
Without each other now we’ll soon be gone

But celebration is out of place
Unless inclusive in its warm embrace
So what befalls the human race
If we don’t care at all…
