Temple
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again?
Look at this one, I want you to see
Fashion was high, my hair was so long
This was maybe '73
You know I have been adored by good and kind men
They sent their love with poetry
By day, I gave grand speeches
At night, like you, we danced to be free
I lost my city in the prime of my time
Mud, silk and the dust of life
I was a diamond of the embassy
It doesn't matter what I meant to be
Girl, you come from the fortunate ones
Gold sky and a firstborn son
We don't have words for the way you have grown
We'll always feed you, you can always come home
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before
I don't want to say anymore, find what you need
I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before
I have earned this sorrow, mine to keep
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again?
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again?
Look at this one, I want you to see
Fashion was high, my hair was so long
This was maybe '73
You know I have been adored by good and kind men
They sent their love with poetry
By day, I gave grand speeches
At night, like you, we danced to be free
I lost my city in the prime of my time
Mud, silk and the dust of life
I was a diamond of the embassy
It doesn't matter what I meant to be
Girl, you come from the fortunate ones
Gold sky and a firstborn son
We don't have words for the way you have grown
We'll always feed you, you can always come home
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
Why would a million dare sink in the sea?
I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before
I don't want to say anymore, find what you need
I don't want to say anymore, but I have been here before
I have earned this sorrow, mine to keep
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Why would I bother to remember when
Our people, baby, die and live again?
I lost my city in the light of day
Thick smoke, helicopter blades
Heaven and earth, I've never moved so fast
You'll never know the fear your mama has
I know your father can't call anymore
He never meant to be a man of war
But we found freedom, what will you do now?
Bury the burden, baby, make us proud
