Temple |
I lost my city in the light of day |
Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
Heaven and earth have never moved so fast |
You’ll never know the fear your mama has |
I know your father can’t call anymore |
He never meant to be a man of war |
But we found freedom what will you do now |
Bury the burden baby make us proud |
I lost my city in the light of day |
Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
Why would I bother to remember when |
Our people baby die and live again |
Look at this one |
I want you to see |
Fashion was high |
My hair was so long |
This was maybe '73 |
You know I have been adored by good and kind men |
They sent their love with poetry |
By day I gave grand speeches |
At night, like you |
We danced to be free |
I lost my city in the prime of my time |
Mud silk and the dust of life |
I was a diamond of the embassy |
It doesn’t matter what I meant to be |
Girl you come from the fortunate ones |
Gold sky and a first born son |
We don’t have words for the way you have grown |
We’ll always feed you |
You can always come home |
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
(Why would a million dare sink in the sea?) |
I don’t want to say anymore |
But I have been here before |
I don’t want to say anymore |
Find what you need |
I don’t want to say anymore |
But I have been here before |
I have earned this sorrow |
Mine to keep |
I lost my city in the light of day |
Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
Why would I bother to remember when |
Our people baby die and live again |
I lost my city in the light of day |
Thick smoke, helicopter blades |
Heaven and earth have never moved so fast |
You’ll never know the fear your mama has |
I know your father can’t call anymore |
He never meant to be a man of war |
But we found freedom what will you do now |
Bury the burden baby make us proud |
