We All Die Young (Oh My Southern Guard Flew West)

Oh my Southern guard flew West
And summer breathed it’s dying breath
All the children lost their souls
And even god didn’t know which way to go
But hope is lost where hope is found
Don’t know if I’ll be back in town
Trust stranger people with their words
They’ll teach you things you do not deserve
I know I’m something that can change
But I’m sick and tired of stupid games
Now show me you’re ready
Show me your light
Show me your crosses
Show me your fight
'Cuz my God is listening
And he don’t joke around
No she don’t joke around
Oh my Western guard flew South
And when the pilot called they were going down
All the children prayed in bed
While their mothers cried and their fathers bled
But not all colours have their grey
What once was broken has its day
And pain may cause a world of hurt
But you should fight for all you’re worth
And you are dead, but so am I
It’s too bad peace don’t bring back life
Now show me you’re ready
Show me your light
Show your crosses
Show me your fight
'Cuz my god is listening
And he don’t joke around
No she don’t joke around
Now breathe in your anger
Breathe in your truth
Breath in your suffering
Breathe in the news
'Cuz my god is angry
And he don’t joke around
No she don’t joke around
(Wake up)
Show me your ready
Show me your light
Show me your crosses
Show me your fight
'Cuz my god is listening
And he just jokes around
Yeah she just jokes around
