Jon Anderson - 23/24/11 lyrics

Spoke about it 24 days ago Talked about it 23 years away Asked about it never to be lost again, that feeling of emotion He sang about it 20 days long ago Heard about it 19 everlasting wars Though about it 26 times a day, that feeling of destruction... No one could ever rely on the words of the truth in the battlefield Someone is there through the time of events they will speak your name Speak, they will shine they will sing in your heart Never let it be Never let it sing Let it reach Always the song for you... In the darkness there's always a song for you So they wrote a book about it saying we live many times And no one ever talks about it 'till they come alive Always to be known as the ones who change the course I see them demonstrating everywhere Believe this is happening Truth is always going to be strong... Changing our thoughts of war... Changed our thoughts of war...23/24/11 It was a war we didn't need 23/24/11 So we want the truth and the good in every soldier Coming home and broken in the battle for the cause... They will show that each will be given the freedom that comes with a heavy load And other lives And other dreams Wounded inside Lost forever...23/24/11 He wrote it down... 23 Days 24 Minutes 11 hours And I'll be gone and gone out of this desolate place This desolate waste We are the first generation to know That war really doesn't relieve It just breaks the soul Clearly around us everyday 23/24/11 23/24/11
