A Place Not So Unkind

Things falling out of the sky

A woman with stones in her eyes

Here's hoping that she may find

Some asylum to hole up inside

A place which is not so unkind

Tears breaking waves on a beach

Crumbling walls which had never been breached

And only the lucky may find

Some high ground to wait out the tide

A place which is not so unkind

Yes here's hoping that they may find

Some shelter to crawl in and hide

A place which is not so unkind

Faces melting like wax in the heat

People dying like dogs in the street

And love is a word in the sand

That a wave wipes away with her hand

And the ocean just don't understand

So here's hoping that we may find

Some asylum to hold up inside

A place which is not so unkind

Someday, somewhere down the line

A place to be free in our minds

A world which is not so unkind
