I know you're waiting but do not despair I'll be out there I'll be out there Overseas you know the grass is green It's always been Will always be No the wilderness is not to blame It's not your name You're still the same Wash the blood of our hands and our faces In many ways We keep our grace Getting tired of these big old questions Still confused about the things I knew They're looking down on the streets of our nation Now I never think we're getting through Heard you're going to the carnival No don't be scared You're safe out there Guess you're leaving for another sphere You said it clear To fight the fear Seek the land of raining parachutes They're white and blue You'll see right through Never mind the city's upside down It's built this way This game we play Getting tired of these big old questions Still confused about the things I knew They're looking down on the streets of our nation Now I never think we're getting through Getting tired of these big old questions Still confused about the things I knew They're looking down on the streets of our nation Now I never think we're getting through
