i have lost my way on a sunny day

i walked on under the rumble of thunder
bent my head in the blowing rain
kept my way in the face of the pain

but when i looked up and all i saw
was the blue blue sky and the birds and the lies
it all seemed clean. and it all seemed true.
and it all seemed like i could go on without you

poor wretched soul, in the mud and the cold
and the blood of your brothers who were killed in the war
for your sister who was raped on the day she turned four

i'm searching for the path back
to a place i've never been
by creating a space
where i'll find friends if i can't find kin
