lyrics

o precious child,
if you could lend your ear to me
the world has turned, at once
to something dark and bleak
you may grow up alone
and spend many nights at home
you may find yourself reaching
out to something that has gone

tears roll down your cheeks
that you wipe away, day after day
a case of the mondays
is what you always blame
but i know just how bad you want to
run away and play
i would reach out with you
but there's nothing left, today

on the eve of apocalypse
from the shroud of providence
i am falling through the cracks
in the generation gap
the walls rise higher, now
there must still be an out
i know that it exists because
when i reach out, i can almost touch it...

toiling, forming, fitting in
those old pictures are just delusions
you're smart enough to know that
it's too late now, you missed back when
you could roll in the grass and dream
far from duress of glowing screens
way back when "life" was in
and your words had meaning

you dry your eyes on the pillow
and wonder if you're done
you can sit in the window
but you'll never really know the sun
you reach out from your bedroom
but you're reaching where there's none...
