lyrics

Run through a picket of trees
Nipping like dogs at your knees
Make time to kick up the stones and the skeletal leaves
Willing the others to grow
Watched clocks will always seem slow
Each in its own pace and time, and each to its own

Be more kind
Let go the cynic inside
Be more kind
This ain’t a trick of the light

Mist hides the city at dawn
Hazy and looking forlorn
It’s just a veil, true colours will soon be shown
Billboards on buildings that soon
Reach up as high as the moon
Tell us we need it, our life’s incomplete without you

Is it true people run free
Born with a written decree
Blessed with a future as long as you bow and agree
Choice will one day have its price
Looking you straight in the eye
Choose me or lose me, it’s now down to you to decide

Beauty is feeding the hopes and the reasons for keeping the fire alight
Or are we dreaming and left with a feeling that keeps up still reeling inside
