welcome to my soul/can you lead me home?/our love once filled the air/will it once again?/blades of grass like hungry butcher knives/torture my back as I try to find/the last shooting star tonight/and everyone knows I'm scared/when the clack strikes my last breath/will there be a smile on my lips?/will there be love inside my heart?/will she be at my fingertips?/welcome to the search that guides this child's heart/our path may turn to dust but the sun will always light our way/and in the stained glass reflection of this distant serenade/don't fault me for all my questions because truth can never fade/we walk hand in hand through the fire of my quest/a reminder that we're only temporary/all strangers,children,guests/stealing glances doesn't mean much in the dark/the poison words roll off her tongue and head right for my heart/I drown myself in the sticky sweat thats falling from her thighs/and remember not my fever dreams/but the sadness in her eyes/the moon doesn't weep it's tears for you/and now you'll have to sing/to the shadows/because I can't love you anymore/mother,I don't want to be a soldier anymore/mother,won't you take that gun away from her?/mother,your arms I need to rest in peace/mother, oh I'm coming home/blades of grass like hungry butcher knives/torture my back now that I've found the last shooting star tonight/and everyone knows you're scared/and in the stained glass reflection of this distant serenade/don't fault me for all my questions because truth can never fade/life is the question/love is the answer
