The End Of The World

if i could gurantee that we'd be okay
that we'd wake in a safer place
where the air was our friend
would you sleep?

if i could take away the fighting
make the bad men stand and deliever
if when the meal was done all would be well
would you eat?

if i could promise i'd find her tommorrow
alive and excited to be home
if i could take away pain from the needy
would you take your meds tonight?

if i could stop the bullets firing
send them to a planet lightyears away
if i could promise that no-one was hurting anymore
would you look at me?

if i could promise the world
and the stars and the moon
would be fine because i said it would be
would you run with me?

if i could run faster than light
turn the planet with all my might
if i could find a way to turn back time
would you stay safe?

this place can't shelter us any longer
they know where we are and they're coming
we need to run and i won't leave you
you need to get up

dry the tears from your eyes angel
i'm sorry she's not coming back
my heart aches for her also
but you saw with your eyes what they'd done

there's no use in praying
god forgot us long ago
when the governments started warring
we were dead to him; gone

lace up your favourite boots
we've got some running to do
we'll follow ninety-nine red balloons
and we'll find home

angel, can you here me
open your eyes for me
you're so cold; freezing, where's your blanket
your lips are blue

i'll hold you in my arms
take my heat, i don't need it
take my hat and coat an scarf and gloves
flush the colour back to your cheeks

you've been sleeping for a week now
you haven't woken once
i'm freezing but i won't take my coat
it's yours now; take it

i'm weaker and colder
the winter got stronger
my chest is aching and i fear i'm leaving
before you wake up

my eyes are heavy
i'll take a nap
you're still not waking
'i love you' i say as i drift to sleep
