They hadn't wished          from much Yet a vow had taken     and visions of sorrow wouldn't travel home Inside the passenger     the young mind the parents carriaged      sound was calm still And yet seasons couldn't     couldn't prevent the eyes rains would become familiar     as his country was.... Well, his country was      attached by windows          to an entire world                of differences The father came into view first    around the corner        worry communicated in his powerless eyes I held back speech, being poor Then the child and explanation     mother followed         carrying his vow At the end of the day     when the family had nothing         empty              only on the way to dinner         Back home interrupted       by our past           inside our country's laundry                was outside on the way out of the restaurant      the mothers shirt        read of the humane society

They hadn't wished
They hadn't wished          from much Yet a vow had taken     and visions of sorrow wouldn't travel home Inside the passenger     the young mind the parents carriaged      sound was calm still And yet seasons couldn't     couldn't prevent the eyes rains would become familiar     as his country was.... Well, his country was      attached by windows          to an entire world                of differences The father came into view first    around the corner        worry communicated in his powerless eyes I held back speech, being poor Then the child and explanation     mother followed         carrying his vow At the end of the day     when the family had nothing         empty              only on the way to dinner         Back home interrupted       by our past           inside our country's laundry                was outside on the way out of the restaurant      the mothers shirt        read of the humane society
