Temple

I lost my city in the light of day Thick smoke, helicopter blades Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast You'll never know the fear your mama has I know your father can't call anymore He never meant to be a man of war But we found freedom, what will you do now? Bury the burden, baby, make us proud I lost my city in the light of day Thick smoke, helicopter blades Why would I bother to remember when Our people, baby, die and live again? Look at this one, I want you to see Fashion was high, my hair was so long This was maybe '73 You know I have been adored by good and kind men They sent their love with poetry By day, I gave grand speeches At night, like you, we danced to be free I lost my city in the prime of my time Mud, silk and the dust of life I was a diamond of the embassy It doesn't matter what I meant to be Girl, you come from the fortunate ones Gold sky and a firstborn son We don't have words for the way you have grown We'll always feed you, you can always come home Why would a million dare sink in the sea? Why would a million dare sink in the sea? Why would a million dare sink in the sea? Why would a million dare sink in the sea? I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before I don't want to say anymore, find what you need I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before I have earned this sorrow, mine to keep I lost my city in the light of day Thick smoke, helicopter blades Why would I bother to remember when Our people, baby, die and live again? I lost my city in the light of day Thick smoke, helicopter blades Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast You'll never know the fear your mama has I know your father can't call anymore He never meant to be a man of war But we found freedom, what will you do now? Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
