Pride And The Flame

(álbum: As The Music Plays - 2004)

Gone... gone are the days
When the west was wild and every child's dream
A light was seen

Gone... gone are the days
When the world just sung for tomorrow to come
But she never came

If I, if I was to break
If I, if I was to pay
Blue moon, are you lost again?

Where will I find your light?
Where will I find the truth?
How will we ever say goodbye
'Cause we're turning the pages again
Oh I'm bound by the lives that have been spent
I'm not living your third world lies
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Better days ahead, goodbye

Gone... gone are the days
All these questions, no straight answers
Everybody's a high priced healer, hey

Gone... gone are the days
Tis the season of change
Every scar on the hand marks a new day

I said sleep child
Slip into a dream
Poppa hasn't been home
Busy living out this crazy scene
Blue moon, are you lost again?

Where will I find your light?
Where will I find the truth?
How will we ever say goodbye
'Cause we're turning the pages again
Oh I'm tired of your preaching amen
I'm not living your third world lies
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Better days ahead

Reached out to future
A lifetime running through his hands
The scorching heat left our heart
The workings of a proud brown man
But nowhere could you see
Dark eyes look away
The pride and the flame

Reached out to feel the warmth
Time running through his hands
The scorching heat gave life
The heart of the proud brown man
And he says to his child
Who still couldn't stand
Someday...
