The Common Welfare of Others

Find a place in the clouds you always recognized

Like a secret you left for all those left behind

Guns are blazing in every godforsaken war

Just to live besides the friends I had before

Running out of time to find a place to hide

As the wishes fall between the broken lines

Every chance is one more opportunity

To run away or face reality

If you find it hard to breathe

In a war overseas

Think of all those left to bleed

With a past of broken dreams

Looking back to keep on moving towards

Mrs. Broadway as she pushes forwards

Secret maps for one more hallelujah

It’s the price to pay so what’s it to ya?

Running on a cloud that starts to crumble

As the waves below swallow your troubles

Drowning fast it feels to be a quick escape

Let the past create a stronger time and place

If you find it hard to breathe

In a war overseas

Think of all those left to bleed

With a past of broken dreams

Lay me down, don’t fall asleep

Three souls are wishing for one to keep

I’m still awake, listing souls to take for the men to break

Its ok if you stand up, it’s ok to say say enough

Let’s hold hands and line them up, pull the trigger from above

Stay with me
