lyrics

There's a boy walking on a road alone
He looks around him and sees the people in the ground
So he know that he's found home
He watches the air he breaths
He promises himself some day he will fly into the clouds
But for right now
But for right now

The people who surround him in the ground
Begin to whisper 'bout the child who's all alone
Wandering our home what does he think could come of this idle behavior
He listens for the words that he believes that he has heard
We can't see but he talks to himself
He says why are these people lying on the ground

They can't walk
They don't talk
They can't even make a sound

I know you are wondering where have all of the loving people gone
Who used to walk with you along your travels
And you believe that they are off in the sky but to this I ask why
The people in the ground that you have found have been with you
So how can you say that
you were all alone when you walked through your home
The whispers are your sisters and the love has never ended
Even though you have suspended everyone and everything
So that on your very last day the music will begin to play

I beg that you will try to see that you will never have to leave
and no one ever has left
So let the songs guide you as you walk through
and you try and love again
Find your mother and your friends so you will never be alone again
I need self control oh this is no stepping stone
I wanna break free 'cause the people in the streets are calling me
and when i join them i will listen
'cause it isn't time for me to rest in peace
