Wear the hours down
Just staring at the sky
Pulling shapes out of the vapours
The pictures scrolling by
Standing very still
So the world can walk around
Look for traces in the papers
But those faces won't be found
All that we are
Still hoping for a quiet life
Now the silence is too loud
And all that we thought we knew
Fading away
Like the pictures in the clouds
Are we still waiting
For the sun
Are we still waiting
For someone
To come and save us
Everyone
We'll wait alone
We stand alone
So proud to help them stand
And so helpless when they fall
Suffer these children
Reflections of us all
And all we've ever done
And all that we see
Through the stinging of our years
To what we hoped they'd be
And all that we are
Praying for a quiet life
Silence is too loud
And all that we ever knew
Fading away
Like the pictures in the clouds
Are we still waiting
For the sun
Are we still waiting
For someone
To come and save us
Everyone
We'll wait alone
We stand alone
Are we still waiting
For the sun
Are we still waiting
For someone
To come and save us
Everyone
We'll wait alone
We stand alone
We stand alone
We stand alone
We stand alone
We stand alone
