| Lyrics |
There
In the dark
There
¹s a child and she
¹s waiting
Lost in the maze of a fait accompli
Is it a crime to be just hesitating
While we
¹re pretending that we never see
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Is there a trick to the art of not feeling
Safe in our world while another
¹s child bleeds
Praying that God won
¹t demand a redealing
Of cards we have held and pretend you don
¹t need
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Better not think about it
In time we
¹ll start to doubt it
Christ has risen
Keep him hidden
God forbid he sees
It
¹s not that we lack the vision
Only just a quick decision
Who will blame us
Rules restrain us
It
¹s all in history
So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping
Avoiding the chance that you
¹ll visit my dreams
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you fall
