A Whisper in the Night (S. Parsons)

It was a long time ago, when the angels were singing

And the hope they were bringing was known

When you look down the road, there's a child who is screaming

A wound that's still bleeding alone

Take up your hand and look out for treason

Treasure the breeze in your eyes

Like a feather in sand, there's hope for the future

An innocent creature still stands

You twist and you turn and cower away

Can you see the people arise

To starve and to burn and ignore the pain

That grows in the dew and the night

Engraved on the stone, is a mountain of people

Who crumbled before they got home

Go on your way, don't look for today

And baby, you might be ok

The dread can't go on and the bread can't be wrong

I'll be back before too long

Everyone says, we're in such a mess

Because of the way that you dress

You twist and you turn and cower away

Can you see the people arise

To starve and to burn and ignore the pain

That grows in the dew and the night
