Challenger

Passing through the park

Pails of trash

Knocked over

People laid out

Onto their backs

In the sun

Last in line

For a fallen ideal

Forming a crowd

I fear it’s gonna get real

If you stay

Why’s all this shit that we put away

Back out here now in the light of day?

Standing new ground

It never should have had

New face to the nightmare

Who’s gonna pay for the pain?

These are all my thoughts

This is how I feel

And no one can doubt

What we all can

See clear as day

And no love can now ever tame

What we have so far let get away

Understand me

Understand this faith

Understand me

Understand this hate

With all of it standing

In your way

Speeding the car

Went roaring past

Once in a lifetime chance

Not to go unclaimed

Bodies falling

Plastic cracking

Weren’t as fast

As your friends

Couldn’t step away

Sun was not in his eyes

And not all would leave alive
