Fears of a Nation
Waking up to the smoke and the burning
You are leaving and won't be returning
We are watching our memories go up in flames
All the love that we gave to each other
From the ashes we'll never recover
Our house is divided with no one to blame
Oh and I know you will go
I have nothing to show
But a picture of you and of me
Making plans to get back together
Like a ball at the end of a tether
We are batting down forces beyond our control
Everyday now the view becomes clearer
And your image recedes in the mirror
'Til I'm just a speck at the opposite end of the earth
Oh and I know I am blind
All illusions are mine
But I stand here like nothing will change
How can we look ahead?
When all our dreams are dead
A lifetime of regret
Or a chapter in book that we will soon forget
In a time of great tribulation
Steady words calmed the fears of a nation
We must always look forward and never look back
Oh and I know you had to go
And I don't have much to show
But a picture of you and of me
Oh and I know I was blind
All illusions so unkind
But I see now that everything's changed
Oh everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
You are leaving and won't be returning
We are watching our memories go up in flames
All the love that we gave to each other
From the ashes we'll never recover
Our house is divided with no one to blame
Oh and I know you will go
I have nothing to show
But a picture of you and of me
Making plans to get back together
Like a ball at the end of a tether
We are batting down forces beyond our control
Everyday now the view becomes clearer
And your image recedes in the mirror
'Til I'm just a speck at the opposite end of the earth
Oh and I know I am blind
All illusions are mine
But I stand here like nothing will change
How can we look ahead?
When all our dreams are dead
A lifetime of regret
Or a chapter in book that we will soon forget
In a time of great tribulation
Steady words calmed the fears of a nation
We must always look forward and never look back
Oh and I know you had to go
And I don't have much to show
But a picture of you and of me
Oh and I know I was blind
All illusions so unkind
But I see now that everything's changed
Oh everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed
