something to say

A pledge of allegiance,
a call of the wild.
Give me one good reason.
We fall out of season
and go out in style.
You walk up to me,
the wind in your eye.
I see one drop tearing.
Now here runs a river
of grief and goodbye.
I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Because I know that I've got
something to say
about the way you're feeling,
every moment, each and every day.

Sisters with nurses,
brothers with dreams
where the whole world rests in peace.
For the mother who whispers,
the father who screams "have mercy!"
In an urban oasis,
an asylum of stone,
the echo of a thousand voices.
The looks on their faces
when they're left alone
staring at these wicked choices.

Because I know that I've got
something to say
about the way you're feeling,
every moment, each and every day.

It's funny how the rage comes down
like a gale upon the sea.
As I lay trembling on the ground
your love astounds me.

Take care of the healing
queen on her throne.
She's got a home crowd cheering.
She wrestled with danger.
She wants to go home, oh baby.
In the life of a hero
there's no time like tonight
for some well-earned laughter.
Flip through the pages,
click off the light,
happy ever after.

Because I know that I've got
something to say
about the way you're feeling,
every moment, each and every day.
