Warning

(album: If Children - 2008)

If the end will come it will be night
All the life we have is from the daylight
And of all the planets god is one
Hidden in the burning of the sun
And I am counting down the years
The warnings have begun to appear
I wait and live as though I will die
I am alive, how can I?

The only world I've ever known
Has been overrun and overgrown
And the saddest ending to describe
Is to never bring this world a new life
And I am counting down the days
The people stop their fighting to pray
I wait and live as though I cannot die
I am alive, how can I?

I sit and wonder asking why
I have seen the world lay down to die
But the only hell I'll ever know
Is where you may go and I may not go
I am counting down the hours
And on my knees amazed at the power
I have to live as though I will die
I am alive, how can I?
