Decades -

I hear a sound in the corridor

A screaming child I can’t ignore

Goes on and on and on

I press my ears

I can’t make it go away

Do we understand that this is life?

Do we understand anything?

Take my heart and never stop

Take my heart and never stop

There’s laughter in the villages

A holiday beneath the moon

Across the world somebody dies

And still I will feel

This emptiness

Do we understand that this is living?

Do we understand that life is precious?

Do we understand that life was given?

Take my heart and never stop

Take my heart and never stop

All I want to do is sleep

Regress into subconscious dreams

Eluding all the outside thoughts

I have no where else to turn

Take my heart and never stop

Take my heart and never stop

(repeat to end)
