One Child

One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain
One child spent his time imagining
And I dont believe hes coming home again, home again, home a...
Right there in the earth, Ive been drawing a line
Im digging it deep, dont know if Ill find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
One child hid inside the darkness
One child never said a thing
One child closed his eyes and disappeared
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper.. .
Right there in the earth, Ive been drawing a line
Im digging it deep, dont know if Ill find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me Im on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilates died
And were no longer alone
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I dont care
I have held on to your words until I found them only air
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding
I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me Im on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the Pilates died
And were no longer alone
I will believe in you (We had no choice but to stay and follow)
If you still want me to (We have nothing left except tomorrow)
Or tell me I'm on my own (We have nothing left except what will be)
There on the other side (What we need here are some real decisions)
Tell me the Pilates died (While you only offer mindless visions)
And were no longer alone (Visions that nobody else here can see)
