Lyrics
One Had vision
One person had a vision.
One came bringing its doom
Another brought impending doom.
One saw napalm
Someone witnessed napalm.
One heard the man in the moon
Another heard the man in the moon.
We were children of promise
The collective represented children of promise.
We were heirs to their dreams
They were inheritors of previous generations' dreams.
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
Questioning why progress is slow.
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about unfortunate events, like a dog biting.
But the sky will fall
Anticipating a crisis with the statement "the sky will fall."
And heads will roll
Expecting consequences with "heads will roll."
And it's all that we can do
Acknowledging limitations and helplessness in the face of challenges.
To wait for the healing
Encouraging patience and endurance while waiting for recovery or resolution.
Hungry hearted reason coming of age
Describing a passionate and eager pursuit of understanding as one matures.
Running headlong into the the latest rage
Engaging in contemporary trends without caution.
Always reaching within us
Believing that solutions lie within ourselves.
Claiming the answers are there
Asserting that answers are present within our reach.
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
Reiterating the frustration of slow progress.
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about negative occurrences, like a dog biting.
But the sky will fall
Reiterating the anticipation of a crisis with "the sky will fall."
And heads will roll
Reaffirming expectations of consequences with "heads will roll."
And it's all that we can do
Highlighting the limited options in challenging situations.
To wait for the healing
Encouraging resilience and patience while awaiting recovery or resolution.
For to carry on
Expressing the need to persist and endure.
For to stand when all is said and done
Emphasizing the importance of standing firm after challenges.
In the shadow of the rising sun
Describing a challenging time symbolized by the shadow of the rising sun.
Longing, waiting for the healing
Expressing a deep yearning and waiting for healing.
We are children of promise
Reiterating that collectively, they are children of promise.
We are heirs to their dreams
Affirming that they inherit dreams from previous generations.
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
Repeating the frustration of slow progress.
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about negative occurrences, like a dog biting.
But the sky will fall
Emphasizing the anticipation of a crisis with "the sky will fall."
And heads will roll
Reaffirming expectations of consequences with "heads will roll."
And it's all that we can do
Highlighting the limited options in challenging situations.
To wait for the healing
Encouraging resilience and patience while awaiting recovery or resolution.
For to carry on
Expressing the need to persist and endure.
For to stand when all is said and done
Emphasizing the importance of standing firm after challenges.
In the shadow of the rising sun
Describing a challenging time symbolized by the shadow of the rising sun.
Longing, waiting for the healing
Expressing a deep yearning and waiting for healing.
