The Calling

Emi        D                C
He stands alone outside the blooming yard
Emi      D                C
All is calm there on the street
Emi          D            C
The shadows pass him hung right over
Emi             D                 C
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep...
Emi          D              C
His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted
Emi         D                C
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek
Emi        D              C
Another child, another soul, grabs a hold
      Emi              D        C
To the metal that will end his misery...

Verse 2

Emi       D          C
How much anger is set aside

As each one of us cries

Em  D  C
Emi             D              C
Red light they come and they take him away
Emi                       D          C
In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day.
Emi             D
Tied tight, can't see out your eyes
        C
That he's sure to shine, sure to shine
Emi                  D                 C
In this deep dark, played out, reality show
   EM         D             C
So, who's the man, with the plan,
EM
eating up all that he can?
          D                C
Don't you see, don't you see...

Has gone and changed so many lives...
