Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's a simple song for simple feelin'
You see the moon and watch it rise
Across the continent, the night bird sings
And somewhere someone hears its cry
[Verse 2]
So disillusioned, keep your head down
If you do, they'll never know
You have no answers to their questions
They will have to let you know
[Verse 3]
Disenfranchised revolution
They'll take away by right what's yours
And make you martyrs of your own cause
When they don't know what cause it's for
[Verse 4]
And all deserted, stand alerted
They'll love you when you're all alone
But you find a red rose in the morning light
You wait the night and find it gone
[Verse 5]
So hear my words with faith and passion
What I say to you is true
When you find the one you might become
Remember part of me is you
Remember part of me is you
