Peaches won't ripen
If the sun refuses to shine
My heart hangs heavy
With the weight
Of the world combined
Would you save a stranger
In the night
Would you trust the darkness
Fight or flight
How many are searching
For a better life
Just a place to call home
Where the children can grow old
Age is waiting
Patiently debating
If it's the right time to come
Knocking at the door
Strange fruit
I hear your cries
Although you whisper
Your strength inspires
Call on me when you're hurting
I'll be there when the day is done
Side by side til the war is won
How many are searching
For a better life
Just a place to call home
Where the children can grow old
Age is waiting
Patiently debating
If it's the right time to come
Knocking at the door
I'll take you to my garden
If you want me to
There's nothing there
But empty space
And endless views
And for once you can breath
The way you're supposed to
High above this burning mass
Of illusion
I'll take you out of your head
To a place among the stars
Where fields of amethysts dance
And for once you can feel
The way you want to
High above this burning mass
Of illusion
