I had watched the evening news
It
was nothing but the blues
And
the sun was going down on my sleepy little town
I just watched a beautiful sunset It was so full of grace It made me feel sad and helpless Tears were on my face Knowing somewhere in the distance Another horror flag unfurled And I wish I could keep the children safe from the world
Safe from the hungry politicians Safe from the lies and false contritions Safe from the cultist religions Safe from the blind superstitions Safe from the unholy wars With people dying and nothing more Oh I wish I could keep the children safe from the world
I have food on
my table I have people who love me A sweet woman who shares my bed I have everything, everything of any worth And I'm lucky just to be here breathin' on planet Earth Feeling safe from the evils that surround us Safe from the turmoil unboundless Safe from the dangers that astound us Safe from the ones that haven't found us Safe from the wounds that will not mend
And all the
fears that never end
All things
change and they change so fast
If I've learned
anything I've learned this And live for the moment because all there is, is now
And anything can happen
Anything can
happen Anything, anything, anything, anything Safe from the world Anything can happen Safe from the world I was caught up in the confusion
For just the
moment I had the illusion |
