Losing my control 

Here it is the day I have to go 

Just sit beside me 

I can't let this show 

How sick I feel to leave you so alone 

God I'm terrified 



We've lost respect for decency 

When one can turn our world into an ant pile 

We run circles, no direction do I see 

The dust has blinded you, the dust has blinded me 



I kissed her on the cheek 

And then I waved goodbye 

She had the saddest look I've seen in years 

A kangaroo cry 

A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by 

We have to live by 

Because we have to live 



[Chorus]

And you choose to break our families 

Tell me you've used all precautions known 

And I'll stand beside the ones who stood alone 

How long will we have to sing until you finally bring our sons, our daughters home? 

We'll let the prayers start healing, what time's been stealing 



We only want to feel as close as we can be 

Use hands for holding on to your precious family 

Just believe in all who shine 

The light to help you see 

Cause if I believe in you, will you believe in me? 



I kissed her on the cheek 

And then I waved goodbye 

She had the saddest look I've seen in years 

A kangaroo cry 

A warm pathetic ocean flow we have to live by 

We have to live by 

Because we have to live 



[Chorus]



Keep hanging on 

Keep hanging on 

Keep hanging on 

Keep hanging on 



We'll let the prayers start healing, when time's been stealing 

Start healing 

Start healing 



[Chorus]
