I heard a story about a boy, who was swept off the deck
the sweeping tide swept the sea over his neck
but it did not end there,...
the furrowed bed of sand worries again
as it had before, waves left the land.
for the falling leaves the child weepeing...
and I will walk with you
using the stars as guides
on a homeward path we go
knowing our time is nigh
I, I will...
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Dai Jesu achoinekwa ndaizofara naye.
Taizofara naye fara naye.
Taizofara naye fara...
the wind blew and her hair stood still
he sits beneath her window sill...
she awaits the magic in his hands
he walks her...
when you dove, drunk with sleep in your eyes
you stole what was left of the sky,
I remember how you freed your hair,...
Well I'm moving kind of slow
Down that same old path
Wasting time inside this hour glass
She's coming up ahead now...
the river of doubt gave birth to a beautiful stone
and in my hands I held it and I knew I was on my own
so I picked it up and...
I went down to the drug store to check my head against
the bright light but she caught me from behind
and though I did not know...
[man:]
I saw you yesterday
your eyes were the color
of some kind of grey.
I hear what you're saying...

there was a decorated general with
a heart of gold, that likened him to
all the stories he told
of past battles, won and lost, and
legends of old a seasoned veteran in
his own time
on the battlefield, he gained
respectful fame with many medals
of bravery and stripes to his name
he grew a beard as soon as he could
to cover the scars on his face
and always urged his men on
but on the eve of a great battle
with the infantry in dream
the old general tossed in his sleep
and wrestled with its meaning
he awoke from the night
just to tell what he had seen
and walked slowly out of his tent
all the men held tall with their
chests in the air, with courage in
their blood and a fire in their stare
it was a grey morning and they all
wondered how they would fare
till the old general told them to go home
[CHORUS:]
I have seen the others
and I have discovered
that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers
and I will no other
to follow me where I'm going
Take a shower, shine your shoes
you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be living
go now you are forgiven
but the men stood fast with their
guns on their shoulders not knowing
what to do with the contradicting orders
the general said he would do his own
duty bout would not extend it not further
the men could go as they pleased
but not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
till one by one
they stepped back and not a word was said
and the old general was left with his
own words echoing in his head
he then prepared to fight
[CHORUS]
go now you are forgiven
