"Dear Brothers and Sisters!

Dear Enemies and Friends!

Why are we all so alone here?

All we need is a little more hope, a little more joy

All we need is a little more light, a little less weight, a little more freedom

If we were an army, and if we believed that we were an army

And we believed

That everyone was scared

Like little lost children in their grown up clothes and poses

So we ended up alone here

Floating through long wasted days

Or great tribulations

While everything felt wrong



Good words

Strong words

Words that could've moved mountains

Words that no one ever said

We were all waiting to hear those words

And no one ever said them

And the tactics never hatched.

And the plans were never mapped.

And we all learned not to believe.

And strange lonesome monsters loafed through the hills

wondering why

And it is best to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever wonder why



So tangle; Oh tangle us up in bright red ribbons!

Let's have a parade

It's been so long since we had a parade

So let's have a parade

Let's invite all our friends

And all our friends' friends

Let's promenade down the boulevards

With terrific pride

And light in our eyes

Twelve feet tall and staggering!

Sick with joy

With the angels there

And light in our eyes

Brothers and Sisters

Hope still waits in the wings

Like a bitter spinster

Impatient

Lonely

And shivering

Waiting to build her glorious fires.

I's because of our plans man;

Our beautiful ridiculous plans!

Let's launch them like careening jetplanes!

Let's crash all our planes in the river!

Let's build strange and radiant machines

At this Jericho waiting to fall"
