cheer up charlie the order's come
all your life running from an atom bomb
been riding under bullet proof skies
just-in-time this luck-of-mine rain pouring down
been sailing to a land of time
where everything changes when you've just found out
these young delta hearts are pouring out
young delta hearts
were being torn apart
young delta hearts
lets go back to the start
and love.
been sailing through a storm of eyes
the sun is out and it burns the tide
sick of shining in the water below
so take your turn to strike the stern
and take a bow
now your drowning at my feet
surely sinking wants a piece of god
these young delta hearts are sailers now
young delta hearts
were being torn apart
young delta hearts
lets go back to the start
and love.

This is a song. Written circa 2003, at the beginning of the Iraq War.
