On Our Own

And the weather breaks, and the sun awakens
She looks down on a land of her suffering
Still the children cry, and why not I, she asks

Photographs tell her stories
Out the window she need not worry
Still the children cry, and why not I

A quiet shuffle in her slippers
Her glasses reflect a light off in the distance
You cannot tell from where
It makes no difference

We'll all carry on, on our own
We'll all carry on, on our own

The light shines on without her vision
A thousand fables, a thousand inscriptions
No ones got the right to tell her how

Take my hand she asks the children
A home is here, for whats its given
No is their reply, its not very easy

My home is here and needs attention
Spirit's gone its own direction
Try to find a way to make things better

We'll all carry on, on our own
We'll all carry on, on our own

Weather breaks, and the sun awakens
She looks down on a land of her suffering
Still the children cry, and why not I

We'll all carry on, on our own
We'll all carry on, on our own

We'll all carry on, on our own
We'll all carry on, our own song
