starting gun

sound the starting gun
cover your ears
this one has a bullet
made of all our fears

kiss the nightingale
that sung in your sleep
she won’t come again
her heart is not to keep

in the wake of all of us
the world will weep for what she lost

i’ll follow anyone
as long as i know they’re here
i’ll let anyone
take away my fear

in the fields the wind falls
in your heart you will hear the voice that calls

sun fades
storm clouds twist above

but in the rain you will find your way
in the night sky you will start to face the day
