Snakes

Father, to a child without a chance, in a fight with tied up hands A world that's out of balance, you better know the dance Just one mistake, you're food for snakes, a drowning sailor in the wake Can't hold your own, can't face these days alone The wolves are on the throne We sow our seeds and hope for rain, fields of green to hide your face the weak will pray for better days, the smart will just accept their fate and hold on We've come so far Would be a shame, to let it slip, to lose it all to floods and plague We worked so hard Now we gotta stand our ground so we can dream of better days In the dried out river bed, the heat is playing with our heads Ripples in the air, like the ghosts of all our fears All this land has turned to sand, a barren place not fit for man The trees have turned to powder, distant sounds have gotten louder Holding on to you I'm losing me mirages show me what i want to see reflecting me, not much left to see a gentle breeze, would topple me a dying leaf get us on our way We've come so far Would be a shame, to let it slip, to lose it all to floods and plague We worked so hard Now we gotta stand our ground so we can dream of better days Stay strong through the pain, Tomorrow might be the day it rains
