lyrics

Lingering

Take your soldiers
Take your kings
Fire your arrows
Fire your slings

And keep your armour
waiting

Take your husbands
Save your wives
Hide your daughters
Sharpen knives

And lead me
to the water

Past the clouds along the stream
And in the islands grab your dreams
Of forgiveness

We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost
and lingering

Che Guevara
Bobby Seale
Seize the time
and let it heal

In constant
revolution

Stop the bomb
save the trees
Heat your home
with the breeze

Hope
springs eternal

Past the clouds along the stream
And in the islands grab your dreams
Of forgiveness


We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost
and lingering

We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost and lingering
Forgotten

Shades of red
amongst the green
East meets west
and in between

The lovers
are hiding

Take a trip
nside your soul
Come together
become whole

The Hippies
are arriving

Past the clouds along the stream
And in the gutters lies their dreams
Of forgiveness

We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost
and lingering

We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost
and lingering
Forgotten

We are the chosen few
The ghosts of causes fought and lost and

lingering
