lyrics

when this house has collapsed, and they're grazing in the front yard
when these dams have been swept into their seas
when the great lakes are full, with the millions these days missing
that's where you will find me
and when the rainforests stand, and these great engines burning
when extinctions only something madmen dream
when every child sleeps on stomachs never hungry
that's where you will find me

so close my eyes
so let me stay there
so let me breathe a better world in
where somehow we'll survive this scene
where you will find me

and when clocks aren't running days, and bank's aren't saving morals
when the lines on our maps have gone to sleep
when tabloids are ashamed, and politicians honest
that's where you will find me
and when shells aren't raining down, and their victims hidden
when our soldiers, finally have their peace
when the poor have a voice, and the rich the will to listen
that's where, you will find me

so close my eyes
so let me stay there
so let me breathe a better world in
where somehow we'll survive this scene
where you will find me

when these machines on the radio, aren't spitting in our faces
when every hero lives up to the dream
when every story's great, and every teller listened
that's where you will find me
When this house has collapsed, and they're grazing in the front yard
when each other, is all we really need
when victims are repaired, and bullies are imprisoned
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me
that's where you will find me
