Ghosts

I see the distant smoke across the waterway

I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear you say

The words that never come when you need them most

To dry your eyes out

Is it your mother's tongue or your father's ghosts?

Remember sticks and stones and how they broke your bones

Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned a lot

When they hit you in the face, and you begged them all to stop

Until you rose up again

And you tried your best to surrender

Bowed down your head

Then you looked up to the sky and said

"My god, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever

God, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

From underneath the dust, you see the curtain call

Can't bear to watch another generation stall

To the hands of greed that will take it all

And cut your heart out

See the face in the shadow

Just a thread in the seams

We'll be ghosts by tomorrow

Just a day in a dream

But you'll rise up again

And you'll fight against the surrender

My friends, don't wait

Just look up to the sky and say

"My god, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever

God, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven

God, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, wanna stay here forever

God, what a beautiful scene

Now I know what you mean, you're my gateway to Heaven"

Gateway to Heaven, you're my gateway to Heaven

Gateway to Heaven

Alright
