lyrics

Boy , what are we doing here,
in this lonely place?
Lets take the road to town.
We'll join the women and men
as they gather around
to pass the cup.

Boy, why are we waiting here,
in this place
of old hopes and new fears?
.. Take my hand and we'll walk
under starry skies.
We'll watch the sun rise.

Wings, beat on a broken door.
An old king
is crying in great the hall.
.. Your mother and dad
are lost at the mall.
Make a new song, boy.

Life, what are we waiting for?
Take this time
to open the golden door.
We'll join the women and men
as they gather in town.
Sing a new song, boy.

Boy , what are we doing here
in this lonely place?
Lets take the road to town.
We'll join the women and men
as they gather around
to pass the cup .. boy.
