So you say a little boy was hit today
What a difference it makes
So you mean to tell me more about the man to be
But the words ring hollow compared to his legacy
Legacy is not what it's supposed to be
Life is strecthed on the head of a needle
Too short a time to dash the hopes of hearts and minds
And the promise of tomorrow
Feels like the sky is falling, takes the feet from under me
Face first into a fist, held on the arm of tregedy
Chorus:
Nightmare, not sleeping, can't take him away from us
Nightmare, he's bleeding, can't take him away from us
Nightmare, not dreaming, can't take him away from us
Nightmare, not sleeping, can't take him away
Away
Away
Away
Come 'round slow and lift the veil of coma sleep
Then you slip back away
Hold back the tears and all the things we want to say
But hold our tongues, don't drift away
Find the fear that's deep inside my heart
This could happen to me
So ashamed, my thoughts aren't where they're supposed to be
If my tears would mend you, maybe then you'd forgive me
Feels like the sky is falling, takes feet from under me
Face first into a fist, held on the arm of tragedy
Chorus:
Keep faith until tomorrow, hold on 'til morning comes (x4)
