Sanwal on the Star

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] Sanwal on the star, gone from the morning sky A man with a terminator heart walks by Two small hands are waiting where the cold winds bend He carries both his children, refuses to end [Pre-Chorus] Every mile is a promise Every breath is a fight He keeps their names beside him Through the longest night [Chorus] Both my children, stay close to me Past the broken gates, past the burning sea If the world goes silent, if the engines start I will guard your future with a human heart Both my children, don't let go There is still a road where the wild winds blow Sanwal on the star, though the old light's gone I will carry you until the dawn [Verse 2] Metal in the doorway, rain across the floor He hears the distant thunder but he fears it no more One child holds a photograph, one child holds his sleeve He tells them there is more ahead than what they had to leave [Bridge] No machine can measure what a father keeps No steel can take the vow that runs beneath When the last sign flickers and the highways close He will be the shelter where their courage grows [Final Chorus] Both my children, stay close to me Past the broken gates, past the burning sea If the world goes silent, if the engines start I will guard your future with a human heart Both my children, don't let go There is still a road where the wild winds blow Sanwal on the star, though the old light's gone I will carry you until the dawn [Outro] Both my children I will carry you on
