lirik lagu william tyler sowers – mao
[verse]
i can recall when i saw you
you looked like the crowd behind me:
a pistol and automatic rifle–
the boy smiling through his t–th
saluting the flag of your colonizing country–
the red, white, and blue of your youth
a perfect, french beret–open hand underneath–
silently protesting the truth
[prechorus]
i can see this tragedy–sixty years between–it’s easy
[chorus]
how can we stop this?
how can we stop this?
i wish it could be avoided with love
[verse]
the pain in our hearts will survive us
if we force it out to our friends
in untoward ways. he’ll revive us
they told me how this all ends
but standing in the center, without any clear winner
i’m looking up to find out
i call it off, and accept my fate
shining light on shadows of doubt
[prechorus]
i concede this tragedy;
there’s however many years between you and me
[chorus]
how can we stop this?
how can we stop this?
i wish it could be avoided with love
[bridge]
don’t ask if you don’t want to hear it
i thought you’d stay–just for a minute
you shut your eyes, and i can see that this wasn’t it
i thought you’d stay–just for a minute
[chorus]
how can we stop this?
how can we stop this?
i wish it could be avoided with love
