Say Hello

Hard to bless through the rain clouds
 We tried to get home
 To select another [?]
 When it hit the ground again
 Hard [?] breakage in me
 I felt my body bow
 I have so little time left in me
 I knew how much to know
 Five-hundred aerial miles to go
 My hair is roasting, we smell like smoke
 And there is no distance long enough
 But still the lengths to which we go
 Our achievements and our powers, yeah
 And our promises and hopes
 Five-hundred aerial miles to go
 How else did I think I would
 Find you, but we'll always be good
 Squinting hard at the printed word
 By the failing light of the sun
 We want our wishes to bow to us
 But they have a life of their own
 Oh, let the sunlight tarry on
 But I just want to say "hello". Hello!
 Five-hundred aerial miles to go
 The earth flames red in heat and smoke
 And there is no distance long enough
 But still the lengths to which we go
 Our beliefs and our distractions
 Our performances and codes
 Five-hundred aerial miles to go
 I want to take [?] to mean
 There is no such thing as truth
 It is hard to admit you were all wrong
 Accept some things are not for you
