Decades

(Claude S.)
 I hear a sound in the corridor
 A screaming child I can't ignore
 Goes on and on and on
 I press my ears
 I can't make it go away
 Do we understand that this is life?
 Do we understand anything?
 Take my heart and never stop
 Take my heart and never stop
 There's laughter in the villages
 A holiday beneath the moon
 Across the world somebody dies,
 And still I will feel
 This emptiness
 Do we understand that this is living?
 Do we understand that life is precious?
 Do we understand that life was given?
 Take my heart and never stop
 Take my heart and never stop
 All I want to do is sleep
 Regress into subconscious dreams
 Eluding all the outside thoughts
 I have no where else to turn
 Take my heart and never stop
 Take my heart and never stop
 (repeat to end)
