Watching You Fall

<br>There<br>In the dark<br>Theres a child and shes waiting<br>Lost in the maze of a fait accompli<br>Is it a crime to be just hesitating<br>While were pretending that we never see<br>On a TV mounted on the wall<br>From this distance I can see it all<br>And Ive been out here<br>Watching you<br>Watching you fall<br>Is there a trick to the art of not feeling<br>Safe in our world while anothers child bleeds<br>Praying that God wont demand a redealing<br>Of cards we have held and pretend you dont need<br>On a TV mounted on the wall<br>From this distance I can see it all<br>And Ive been out here<br>Watching you<br>Watching you fall<br>Better not think about it<br>In time well start to doubt it<br>Christ has risen<br>Keep him hidden<br>God forbid he sees<br>Its not that we lack the vision<br>Only just a quick decision<br>Who will blame us<br>Rules restrain us<br>Its all in history<br>So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping<br>Avoiding the chance that youll visit my dreams<br>On a TV mounted on the wall<br>From this distance I can see it all<br>And Ive been out here<br>Watching you fall
