yellow hair on the window sill
two boys running still
afghans on the arm chairs
you were always there
tear drops on a bedroom floor
look how we've changed so
father can you hear me now
can you let go
a little older
a little sadder
a little weaker
it sure would be nice to see you smile
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows falling down on us tonight
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows casting down on us tonight
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows falling down on us tonight
broken chains and broken gears
broken pipes from broken years
broken steel and broken tin
broken words from broken men
everything is broken now
standing in a doorway now
somewhere lost somehow
no direction and no desire
indecision will take us higher
a little older
a little sadder
a little weaker
it sure would be nice to see you smile
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows falling down on us tonight
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows casting down on us tonight
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows falling down on us tonight
tonight drunken dreaming in charlie brown bed sheets
tonight tossed and turning on a bed with no sleep
tonight time to think and rethink
cause one day we will rise
from the shadows falling down on us tonight |
