It comes to me by means of a dream
More frightful than what it seems
We couldn't seem to keep
Our love clean to be
A red haze appeared in the sky
Hard to notice because the cries
They might cheat and lie
They might scheme and pry
On the road, it seems so dead
On the road, we seem so scared
Of what's ahead
They fear and dread
By the faces of the trees
And sparkle of the sea
They will speak to me
"Live life free"
Well, I said don't come to me
These troubles are here to be seen
Just stand still, don't even speak
The loud noise is not worth a peek
To waste time everyday
Looking out at the rain
Thinking how I will stay
Motives I will sustain
Counsel given over time
It will always have my mind
But actions can be unkind
Overpowering what is right
I say a prayer for all that's good
It's understood
I have to work
To not not know who you are
I can't look far
Past my heart
Past my heart
