Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors |
Listen to me just hear me out, if I could have your attention |
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd |
I get so confused I don’t understand |
I know you feel the same way you’ve always wanted to say |
But you don’t get the chance, just a voice in the crowd |
I don’t know the score anymore; |
it’s not clear anymore |
I can’t tell right from wrong anymore; |
I just don’t understand |
I was sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old |
Like changing channels on the tv, or the dirt we stand in to gold |
When I was young, my father told me just the bad guys die |
At the time just a little white lie |
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most |
And the truth stung like tears in my eye |
That even the good guys must die |
There’s no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why |
Even now it still makes me cry |
If there’s somebody up there could they throw me down a line |
Just a little helping hand just a little understanding |
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now |
If there’s somebody up there could they throw me down a line |
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right |
Just some answers to the questions that I’m asking you |
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors |
Where nothing here is ever what it seems |
You stand so close but you never understand it |
For all that we see is not what it seems, am I blind? |
And you sit there and talk revolution |
But can you tell me just who’s in command? |
When you tell me the forces we are fighting |
Then I’ll gladly join and make plans |
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom |
And our voices are gagged by our greed |
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge |
By the hill and the will to succeed |
And if that’s not what you believe |
Would you let me know I’m not standing alone |
That I’m not just a voice in the crowd |
If there’s somebody up there could they throw me down a line |
Just a little helping hand just a little understanding |
Just a little understanding to the questions that I’m asking you |
If there’s somebody up there could they throw me down a line |
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right |
Just some answers to the questions that I’m asking you |
I’ll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors |
Where nothing here is ever what it seems |
I’m scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers |
That preside over our minds and our lives |
When they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth |
Day by day it’s getting louder |
And day by day it’s getting stronger |
But when I can’t scream no more and I need reassurance |
I listen to the crowd |
(And the boy stood, and stared at the hill. And the hill stared back) |
