Was it a day, a day just like today?
Imagine, the same sun we know
Casting a haunting shadow upon the sand
In a not so distant land
Spectators breathing the air we breathe
Casting the same rocks
Sweating the same sweat
Their eyes ablaze, glazed with an ancient gaze
It was still the same then as today
The weight of the timber of that tree
Pales in comparison when contrasted
With the weight of the world
The shame and the pain
The burden we just couldn't bear
The darkest day on the earth some would say
The light of the world searching ever ready to ignite
The soldiers are tormenting but they don't know why
Still he is speaking on their behalf
This day would bring hope to us all
There's imminent danger at hand
And in the sand we still stand
With our spears ready to thrust
Our feet creating dust
And now it swirls like a tornado
In hot pursuit of its next building to collapse
The thick gla** we see through darkly
As we have smeared it with mud
And somehow we still think it to be all about us
But it's all about you
I know I'm covered in filth
And I need to be cleaned
For this curse is strong, but the cure is here
And although I fall, I know that you're near
I know that you're right here
You're right here
