One Child Lyrics

One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain
One child spent his time imagining
And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home aRight there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my graveOne child hid inside the darkness
One child never said a thing
One child closed his eyes and disappeared
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisperRight there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, 'cause this will be my graveI will believe in you if you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the pilots died and we're no longer aloneTake your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care
I have held on to your words until I found them only air
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?

Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleedingI will believe in you if you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the pilots died and we're no longer aloneWe had no choice but to stay and follow
We have nothing left except tomorrow
We have nothing left except what will be
What we need here are some real decisions
While you only offer mindless visions
Visions that nobody else here can seeWe had no choice but to stay and follow
We have nothing left except tomorrow
We have nothing left except what will be
What we need here are some real decisions
While you only offer mindless visions
Visions that nobody else here can seeI will believe in you if you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side
Tell me the pilots died and we're no longer aloneRight there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all would be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
