For Us All

VERSE 1: light through the window, falls on her hair
quietly sleeping, clothes by the chair
lying in shadow, lost in a thought
wished he could tell her, answers she sought

BRIDGE 1: listening to the distant thunder
warning him of storms approaching
holding on to soothe her slumber
wanting words to fill her daydreams
Is there more that he could offer
speak the doubts that trouble his mind
wonders how they lost their way so suddenly

CHORUS 1: For Us All - who move in patterns
For Us All - who take the hard way
For Us All - who lost our true self
For Us All - who hide in heartache
For Us All - who seek communion
For Us All - who build up towers
For Us All - who ask forgiveness
For Us All - who gave up power
Where's the drug to soothe the pain
Where's the drug to save the day
Where's the drug to find our way
All they say is, "faith"

VERSE 2: nobody sees them, lost in the crowd
nobody hears them, talking out loud
where do they come from, where do they live
nothing is offered, nothing to give

BRIDGE 2: wanting for the grace of kindness
holding them in arms of pity
waiting for the joy of being
trading for the need of giving
Is there more that can be offered
Is there more that will be received
lying down to sleep with concrete lullabies

CHORUS 2: For Us All - who move in patterns
For Us All - who take the hard way
For Us All - who lost our true self
For Us All - who hide in heartache
For Us All - who seek communion
For Us All - who build up towers
For Us All - who ask forgiveness
For Us All - who gave up power
Where's the drug to soothe the pain
Where's the drug to save the day
Where's the drug to find our way
Where's the drug to cut the haze
Where's the drug to make us sane
All they say is, "faith"
