Lyrics
Behind the homes lit bravely for the hunted,
Clouds compete to cover the scar below
As we skirt the sun eastward--
Shivering night on the shore…
Virginia calls in a midnight pulse
A lighthouse meant to shine
Through foggy nights--
No stones in my pockets…
Racing to, racing to, racing to…
My father’s arms held me back
“It’s no time to die.”
The siren song: blackened waves crashed
I said, “It’s been time, It’s been time
Oh it’s been time, it’s been time.”
“We’ve been waiting on the park bench.
We’ve been waiting in the cold.
We’ve been waiting on the shoreline.
We’ve been waiting til we’re old.”
We biked by light of the moon in the summer
The path behind their houses
That were lit--I thought--to guide the homeward
As others sought us out…
Vivianne, my light, cried in the summer
Another was shot walking
“We know our rights, though they’re not
Worth a penny in this American dream.”
“We’ve been waiting on the park bench.
We’ve been waiting in the cold.
We’ve been waiting on the shoreline.
We’ve been waiting til we’re old.”
My father’s arms held me back
“It’s no time to die.”
The siren song: blackened waves crashed
I said, “It’s been time, It’s been time
Oh it’s been time, it’s been time.”
