A light a flickering light
A glass that shields the light
Not an off switch on a cord
A glow a golden glow
The warmth could fuel your soul
Not a dial on a wall
They're sending signals on a line
Good news matures over time
With their hands by their sides, no distractions on the mind
It was a good place for them
It's a good place for us
A cloth to warm your bones
Shoes to shield from stones
Not an advert on your sole
A coat that fits just right
The warmth could hold you tight
A hood that will feel the rain
Kids playing safely in the street
Real times where people truly meet
With their hands by their sides, no distractions on the mind
It was a good place for them
It's a good place for us
I say this all as if there wasn't any pain
Good things have come from us, much we have gained
But there's a light in my heart
Still flickers in that glass
But maybe this'll pass
It was a good place for them
It's a good place for us
