Time passes and I wonder why
Some will live while others die
As sadness sings a lullaby to love
Love laments with swollen eyes
While mothers weep and fathers try to disguise
That precious life is gone for good
Gone for the good of you and me
For freedom peace and security
Yet liberty is only free to be afraid
Afraid of the news in the morning post
Of someone elses Holy Ghost
Of becoming what I fear the most
What can be done?
The more that I know
Wherever I go
I want to be close to you
The more that you say
The more that I pray
That I can be close to you
The more that I know
The more that I know
Walkin through the afternoon
Ive been listening to the month of June
As sunlight turns to cooler moon and crickets songs
Songs that speak of times forgotten
Rinds of rotten fruit returning to the earth
The breath of life that she once gave
Gave to give and take away
In time I learn to lay my worries down
Upon the shoulders of the whispering wind
Wind that touches everything
And everything it touches sings and dances
Chances seem to fade then reappear
repeat chorus
Why must the innocent suffer so?
From where does evil arise?
Who is this infinite god of woe?
Wrapped in an ancient disguise
Maybe god and the devil are one?
Just like the earth and the sky
Maybe Im living too close to the sun
Maybe its all been lies
Its all been lies
repeat chorus
ad lib to end
