Swimming in the Wind Lyrics by Cameron Smith

Shine

0

A line drawn in the sand
Stretched tight from whole to hole
Guided by whose hand
Clenched around whose throat?
Remember what once was
And how it all went up in smoke
How all that you have left
Are these fading memories of home?
In memory of home
Something G-d might yet accept
Burn offerings of peace
To pay a wartime debt
The blood that bought this feast
Is the blood you’re bathing in
Floating on the breeze
Swimming in the wind
And all it cost to us
Is all there ever was
And all that we have left?
Nothing left to want
Pouring out onto the lawn
Melting like the snow
You say, "The children are all gone"
But where did the children go?
The short of the long con
Is that man is like a rock
And the stone you’re stepping on
Was it carved out of your block?
