Please

Look to the east and share this time with me
Don't know who I am or who I want to be
Never mind the glow, who cares about the blaze?
You may not feel the heat, but it's rising either way

Just please, please, please
Open your eyes and see
If this isn't us, then who are we?

Those rails, once alive, now accompany the trees
Coal of old along the line, just happy to be free
And Mr. Zimmerman, who warns of twisting fate
Testifies that sometimes we all just gotta wait

Just please, please, please
I may not have what you need
But I know what'll stay behind when you leave

Argued with my soul today, same fight as yesterday
Always something wrong but nothing new to say
So why's tomorrow worth repair just to forget about today?
Are all the good things here really taken away someday?

Just please, please, please
Open your eyes and see
What'll stay behind when you leave

While guilt sings its song, a right for every wrong
All along, kneel to those without a world to belong
Where's the give for the takes?
We're all together and all alone
Before this fever breaks, I fear we'll sweat to the bone

Just please, please, please
I don't wanna see, I wanna be
But I can't remain if you leave

Guess I've never been the apostle you needed me to be
But is it in you to concede to see that we believe?
And when the time comes for the king's decree
Will you take to your feet or drop to bended knee?

O please, please, please
I know it's hard, but you're free
So much left behind when you leave
