My son you're old now You've left your mark upon this land You've pushed it hard Because you can look to your children You've said four words that we won't speak For they don't share in our disease We've made our vows We've played you wrong Is there a sound that it makes 'Cause I couldn't hear how hearts break We trusted few And watched them fall We closed our eyes And we fly into the wide open arms of the light For some it's so clear They know the people at their feet We'll trust the mouse that talks so sweetly in all of Iceland To see the blood upon our hands We couldn't help but understand We've made our vows We've played you wrong Is there a sound that it makes 'Cause I couldn't hear how hearts break We trusted few And watched them fall We closed our eyes And we fly into the wide open arms of the light They never told us why There's people still missing in our minds There's people still missing in our minds There's people still missing in our minds Our lives are fading things Hey brother, are you out there? My hope's alive within Hey brother, are you out there? Our lives are fading things Hey brother, are you out there? My hope's alive within Hey brother, are you out there? Our lives are fading things Hey brother, are you out there? My hope's alive within Hey brother, are you out there? Our lives are fading things
