(album: We Never Said It Was Good - 2008)

"...When a heartbeat is silent and a child lies dead?
'Don't stand behind' this coffin
That boy was as pure and as innocent as the driven snow
But I must stand here, because I have not given you what you should have
Until we can walk abroad and recreate ourselves
Until we can stroll along the streets like boulevards, congregate in parks free from fear, our families mingling, our children laughing
Our hearts joined — until that day we have no city
You can label me a failure until that day

The first and perhaps only great mayor was Greek
He was Pericles of Athens, and he lived some 2500 years ago
And he said, 'All things good of this earth flow into the City-'"
