Adrian Belew

Underneath a burning sky, the tenants of the fire sit in silence as they ponder survival in the wild
With our love to keep us up, there is nothing in the world that can knock us down
We can take whatever comes
If we face it hand in hand, we can stand our ground
Just a couple of kids with clouds in our heads
Tryin to swim upstream
Tryin to make it good
But it happened so fast when disaster came that a river of teardrops couldnt wash it away
How do we now view ourselves? Sitting victims in a shelter needing help?
How do we now regain control over the remnants of our life without a home?
If a bomb had hit us, nothing less would remain
Not a wall to lean on
Not a fork or plate
But at least we made it out and were still alive
And were starting over now in the middle of the night
Its a matter of time, a struggle to survive, but it doesnt need to be a lonely fight
If we stand by each other, well be sure of our survival in the wild
Underneath a burning sky, the tenants of the fire sit in silence as they ponder survival in the wild
