White noise, a flash of light
Clean like fresh cut grass
Choking from the smoke tonight
Shattering stained glass
And as the cold comes on
I'm moved to tears
It warms my heart
To know you care
So thank you for your thoughts and prayers
They made all the difference
As I bled out, gasping for air
You were of great assistance
Playing dead to stay alive
You're busy playing dumb
Television crews arrive
My legs go numb
And the response plays out
Without a hitch
You wipe your eyes
My muscles twitch
So thank you for your thoughts and prayers
They made all the difference
As I bled out, gasping for air
You were of great assistance
Senators pull out their scripts
And try hard to act stunned
Soon this all will be eclipsed
By another man with a gun
And I'm a number now
A drop in a pool
A blood red exception
To the golden rule
But thank you for your thoughts and prayers
They made all the difference
As I bled out, gasping for air
You were of great assistance
