Tranquility

It only takes one lone soul
It only takes one in a thousand
The absence of fear in your eyes
No, that’s not bravery
As children we learn it’s wrong
to put out the light of another
Our innocence lost over time
Means to an end

It’s hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It’s supposed to be
‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
and we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
a voice telling us it’s wrong
Counting the stars in the sky
It was like a lullaby

For sunsets I’ll break the rules
We learnt playing down in the heather
The secrets behind all the veils
We just use other words
For freedom we make our charge
For friendship we bare down on others
Can’t one of you just calculate
Tranquility?

It’s hard to hold your head up high
But we must try

Sway together in the dark
It’s supposed to be
‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

Sway together in the dark
It’s supposed to be
‘Cos I want to know the end
and you never ever need to fight
But you’re fighting everyday
And I don’t know when your light will go out
Innocent crying child
The heart of your enemy

My heart to heart with the light
and we always get along
Counting the stars in the sky
thinking why they have to die
Just face to face we can hear
a voice telling us it’s wrong
Counting the stars in the sky
It was like a lullaby
