Stare into the Sun

He never closed his eyes

Or so we theorized

But we were young and bold

And he was mostly old



And his time nearly done...



He came back from a war

On some forgotten shore

And sat and watched the world

And never said a word



And so I asked for one...



Watching, waiting

Old man tell me what have we become

Anticipating

All the hating that was yet undone



He turned around and stared into the sun...



He fought for things so clear

And never thought he'd fear

A brother or his child

Or killing having style



Watch the colors run...



Watching, waiting

Old man tell me what have we become

Anticipating

All the hating that was yet undone



He turned around and stared into the sun...



And now he only hears

And his eyes they only tear

So tread most carefully

For he's still listening



Watch the colors run...



Watching, waiting

Old man tell me what have we become

Anticipating

All the hating hat was yet undone



He turned around and stared into the sun...
