The Pink and the Lily

Street lights ablaze and the air is so dry

There's a cat in my bucket smoke covers the sky

And the sound of the traffic keeps me from my dreams

Like one million soldiers just shuffled their feet

The heat of the night is one that I can't escape

So I listen to the underground rumble and shake

There's something so beautiful being alive

When your young wild and free

And just trying to survive.

So hold me I believe every word that you told me

And every last line that you sold me

I'll love you for the rest of my life

Take me turn me around and you'll make me

Follow the footsteps you gave me

In the Pink and the Lily tonight.

Freedoms a luxury taken in vain

It's hard to find justice and fight for a change

Cos there's so many people that cannot be heard

Their thoughts and their feelings just kicked to the curb

I may not be old and I may not be wise

But I call upon those with a chance in this life

Climb to the rooftops and open your eyes

Cos your young wild and free and just trying to survive.

So hold me I believe every word that you told me

And every last line that you sold me

I'll love you for the rest of my life

Take me turn me around and you'll make me

Follow the footsteps you gave me

In the Pink and the Lily tonight.

Follow the footsteps you gave me

In the Pink and the Lily tonight.

Follow the footsteps you gave me

In the Pink and the Lily tonight.
