justice in the hands of the ordinary
frustrate the plans of the dignitary
if we didn't know then we wouldn't have to care would we
but i saw it with my own eyes over there

i breathed the heavy air on the neon streets
underneath the stars in the far east
i caught her eye looking back at me
and tonight i can hear her sing

carry me home - on the wings of the dawn
don't leave me alone - let me sing a new song

these roots grow far too deep
i can't dilute this blood that i bleed
she's bought and she's sold endlessly
caught in the cold machine of industry

they're taking beautiful and they're making it cheap
squeeze the soul, break the the heart - steal the beat
but freedom rings hear the bells chime
like children sing in the spring time

carry me home - on the wings of the dawn
don't leave me alone - let me sing a new song

i will wait - i will wait - for the angels - angels

carry me home - on the wings of the dawn
don't leave me alone - let me sing a new song
