Before The Dawn

See the man on the corner standing

Raises his hand implores for silence

He calls to the sun

He calls to the moon

He folds his mind into a distant land

But the chaos continue there around

The city streets

Like the paper that burns it

Consumes all

The gray and the desperation

Mingle into tears

But the world that is passing cannot

Hear his call

So the words that he speaks

Become the life

Held in his calloused hands

And given to those who would cry

To pull them away from the cold and

The rain

Take them out of the night

Into the day

Beat now

The hearts that are still

And watch as the day passes on

Beat now

The hearts that are still

Before the dawn comes

Beat now

The hearts that are still

Rise as the day passes on

Beat now

Then I'll reveal

The place we belong

Watch as in slow motion falling

The people return to their innocence

A touch of the hand, a sign in the eye

As the torrent falls for a

Moment they disappear

And their bodies are twisted

By the mould

Of their secret lives

Desires they would always conceal

For a second the numbness falls away

Pulse comes to their eyes

Out of the night into the day
