Can You See the Light
lyrics by Sean Hall
2002

The towers fell as the theatre was taken
You could see the cracks in the floor
Where the fires had been
Where the buildings were shaken
Where bodies made holes in the wall

It rained that night and lasted for days
In the river i saw a door
With a sign on the front "We open at eight"
And close for a madman's war

Can you see the light
It's over

The sky turned red as the ash came down
On the flowers to be picked at dawn
To be laid at the feet
Of a broken town
By the lives that were left to mourn

They stood in a line and opened their eyes
Waiting for the morning sun
And prayed for the day
When the truth was not lies
When the father could love his son

Can you see the light
It's over

Old land of liberty
Lead us to the light
For you've told us what's wrong
You've told us what's right

Stand with us or stand alone
Hide your face or fight
For they've taken our home
Taken to spite

For America
Sell a rose
Push the power
Do our dirty
Make him worthy

We have an idea a little bit different
We know the truth but we keep it secret
We say your people are slaves of another ideal
So you can take your gods and send them

To America

Will give them our peace
And take all our guns
We'll show them our face And see how they run

They'll listen to our voice
And sing all our songs
We'll give them a choice
We'll give them our bomb

For America
