Chalkline

(album: Change Is A Sound - 2001)

We see the billboard girl
The one devoted to ritual
Standing in the rain
Holding all of her pain inside
I know you're hurting now
But I can't point my finger at the
Words I should or shouldn't say
Anything to take the pain away

Walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

Go!

We see the lines in chalk
The warning sign for where we walk
In the shadows of the cities maze
To try and fight for better days

Walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

Yeah we're ungrateful
Yeah we're ungrateful for

Holy books, religious men
Values of beauty, original sin
And all this time we unwind it
I won't give up, I'm not afraid

Resister go as long as it takes
To reverse the hypocrisy, challenge the stakes
Of safety and survival at the heart
Of women's voices, women's art

To walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
We have to choose to love what we are in this life all that matters
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
I won't give up
Through all this time walk out
Out of the shadows

If we take
Our strength
To market
To trade
For their ugly beauty

Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
No more
