I see the pestilence outside my window
|
I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high
|
I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street
|
I face the morning with my customary sigh
|
|
I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud
|
A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd
|
My breakfast finished now I brave the outside
|
But clouds have hidden all the warmth inside
|
Chase these clouds away
|
I hate this sunless Saturday
|
|
Freedom come
|
For us now
|
Light our sky
|
Burn away these clouds
|
|
Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me
|
Is just the mirror image of tainted soul
|
I think the sun will never visit my sky
|
Until the truth is seen by each and every eye
|
|
I see the helpless and I see the insane
|
I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain
|
I see the means of help elude us again
|
I think the sun will never visit me again
|
