White Sands

by Chris Rodriguez   Dec 9, 2006


Mother holds her child close
Child cries but he doesn't know
Father who fought for their freedom
Flowers on a grave stone, it's too hard to see

Heavens dead, it's been said
In holy whispering
Out of time
For the rest of your life

She is like no other
Is it you birth right
For you to love her without a fight?
No one can understand why I can never accept it
We're only seventeen
And already your life is laid before you
You're making these years
The best of your life
I want more than that

Inject your relief
With needles and pins
False horrors are better than reality
Numbness is the real tragedy
Destroy the light
I can't cry
A hole in the earth
Is the only way to survive

My anger is violent
I'm scared to show it
Will I see myself on the other side?
A soldier without a gun and together we will ride
Going thousands of miles more
To get to that shore
White sands and clear Sky's
For everyone

Heavens dead it's been said
In holy whispering
Out of time
For the rest of your life
