Obscure The Sky

Holy this night that I pray

From the womb of my dying mother

The blood of her thigh reveals her shame

This scanning and screening my mind

Wasn't born to cry my heart out

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we will make it together

Holding this breath that I stole

From a beam of light I followed

I can't forget the things I've seen

Their dying for freedom in vain

While we all just watch and wonder

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we wil1make it

Once I was born to look in the eyes

Of a world that was calling my name

Now I can't hear

What of these millions

And this pain they must bare

Never to hear, never to see

For their shadows

For breaking the silence they kill

In cold blood that pours down on me

I wear like a crest when I recall

This vision that glows through the night

While I wish that I was dreaming

Is this the last time we will hear

Our children cry out

Obscure the sky, obscure my eyes

From this world we could not hide

Will this pain we have be shed

Then I know we will make it together
