Decades

I hear a sound in the corridor
A screaming child I can't ignore
Goes on and on and on
I press my ears

I can't make it go away

Do we understand that this is life?
Do we understand anything?

Take my heart and never stop
Take my heart and never stop

There's laughter in the villages
A holiday beneath the moon
Across the world somebody dies,
And still I will feel
This emptiness

Do we understand that this is living?
Do we understand that life is precious?
Do we understand that life was given?

Take my heart and never stop
Take my heart and never stop

All I want to do is sleep
Regress into subconscious dreams
Eluding all the outside thoughts
I have no where else to turn

Take my heart and never stop
Take my heart and never stop
