He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized
But we were young and bold
He was mostly old
And his time nearly doneHe came back from a war
On some forgotten shore
And sat and watched the world
And never said a word
And so I asked for oneWatching waiting
Old man, tell me what have we become, oh oh
Anticipating all the hating that was yet undone
He turned around and stared into the sun, ohHe fought for things so clear
And never thought he'd fear
A brother or his child or killing having style
Watch the colors runWatching waiting
Old man, tell me what have we become, oh yeah
Anticipating all the hating that was yet undone
He turned around and stared into the sun, oh yeahAnd now he only hears
His eyes they only tear
So tread most carefully
For he's still listening
Watch the colors runWatching waiting
Old man, tell me what have we become, oh yeah yeah
Anticipating all the hating that was yet undone
He turned around and stared into the sun
