For Mark it came out of the light
and everything went down in freefall.
What I remember most of all
is when she said that people die
donât they. Cry donât they.
There comes a time when youâre alone with yourself
and the cold light and fear, whatever they might say.
And the girl with the flowers in her hair
said you should have made time for sharing.
And there she lies your hoped for future
boy you better pray she donât leave you.
Figure we have lost our way
before this dark and broken trail was made
before the surface cooled to stone
before the harsh light and the white walls
the first struggle for breath.
And winterbourne no longer flow from the hills
the trees are all down, the losers have found
that the girl with the flowers in her hair
says thereâs nothing else left for giving.
And there she lies your hoped for future
boy you better pray she donât leave you.
I understand there will soon be
manâs first steps on red earth
and I hear theyâre defining
the very nature of our being.
Is there nothing we canât do?
Itâs come to pass at long last
there is such strength in numbers
and the circleâs turned full circle
and God is now made in our image.
How far have we come down
from Dragon Bone Hill
when the best case we can make is we
threw it all away?
