Do you need a flag
To know who you are?
Did you get intentionally left behind?
There's a curve in the road
That I intimately know
And, you know, I got caught on that curve before



Why must a building burn

Before a lesson is learned?



An unoriginal thought

I've often fallen short

If I could bottle the tonic of your laughter I would

A girl running at night

Clutching a rectangle of light

Still fills her lungs with the dust of a life



Why must a building burn

Before the powerful learn?



I saw a picture (I saw a picture)

Beamed right through me (Beamed right through me)

I was stunned to recognise your smiling face

A family photo (A family photo)

One of many (One of many)

I was stunned to recognise your smiling face

I was hoping for a message to tell me you were here

I was waiting for a message to tell me you were here

I was hoping for a message to tell me you were here



I saw a picture (I saw a picture)

On my telly (On my telly)

I was stunned to recognise your smiling face

It was you

It was you

It was you all along
