I come from a land of wide open spaces   Where the world turns around us and we just follow suit   There's heat in the air and peace reigns supreme   Got white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are new      In the wind   The ashes fly   The poison crown   The charcoal ground      And if you can't see the smile in me   That's where I wanna be      There's only God   There's only Christ   Think I'll lie down   For just a while      And the grass became granite and the sky a black sheet   Our bed was a graveyard, we couldn't feel our blistered feet   And the moaning and groaning and sighing of death   And the silence that followed and the very harsh reality      So watch and check them out and listen as we learn   Throw the pearls before the swine, ebb and flow, turning tide   Yes, we watch and catch them no matter how they jump   The pigs will have to come to ground, we've got to make it happen      It's really not that new, try and make it happen now   'Cause what are we to do, maybe there's a chance for you      All around   An eerie sound   Their dreams a cloud   Their world in shrouds      In the wind   The ashes fly   Not much time   But time to try      And if you can't see the smile in me   That's 'cause I wanna be   I want to be here at the end   I have to be here at the end
