Long Way Home

This is a song for the soldier in me I will grow stronger every time I breathe This is for my Mamma She led the way She held the candle Which I am a flame of These are for the girls who'll pick up my shoes And this is for the future that we stand to lose These are for the things You can't say out loud For the things we've done Because we weren't allowed! (YEAH!!!) Is there anybody out there? You listening? You listening? Are you listening? Toxic fogs and cops are hogs Twisted laws mangled jaws Mothers in the killers arms Children marching forth with guns Explosions that kill everyone! The dust don't settle, no, till' them bones are dry Ashes to ashes and matter to mind! (YEAH!!!) Is there anybody out there? You listening? You listening? Are you listening? Were you listening when they prayed? Listening when they prayed under your bombs? Were you listening when they prayed? Raining bullets down from your guns? It's a long Long, long, long, way home It's a long It's a long, long, long, way home Long,it's a long,long, long, it's a long, It's a long Long, long, long Long, long, long way home
