|
do we dare top
|
|
The prayers that we pray in foxholes and funerals
|
The songs that we sing in delivery rooms
|
The questions we ask when nobody's listening
|
But the man in the moon
|
The way our hearts beat - faced with a sunrise
|
Like maybe they know something we don't
|
But it's all in code and we can't decode it
|
Or maybe we won't
|
|
Chorus:
|
Do we dare pay attention, dare even mention
|
The mystery we find ourselves caught in
|
And do we dare to remember
|
All that we have forgotten
|
|
Each breath that we take - we take for granted
|
So if there are clues we remain unaware
|
All the days of our lives burn down like matches
|
Vanish into thin air
|
But there are dreams that we dream when we least expect them
|
And memories that come like unbidden tears
|
All the things we believed when we were still children
|
It's been so many years
|
|
Repeat chorus
|
|
We are battered and torn from the day we are born
|
In a world that has blinded and bound us
|
Is it any surprise we don't open our eyes
|
To the truth that's disguised all around us
|
|
Like the secrets we keep we don't know we're keeping
|
From before there was time, before there were lies
|
Can we find you again this far from the garden?
|
Do we dare even try?
|
|
Repeat chorus
