Smoke Or Fire - This Sinking Ship lyrics

I see myself in my fathers eyes I see my strengths and my weaknesses There's children safe in their mother's arms But photos can be misleading Right on the branches of my family trees That's where the young ones are dwindling - with lies So will we learn? Talk together into the night Can we help this home to survive? We need the strength of our family's arms Not a false sense of solidarity Walk together and we could work this out Talk together and we could understand We need the strength of our family's arms I wish I knew where to go from here I see the sadness in all their eyes I understand why this burdens them It's written on my grandfather's arms Indian ink tells the story there Out on the branches of my family trees That's where the young ones are suffering - with lies So will we learn? Fought together into the night Can we help this home to survive? We need the strength of our family's arms Not a false sense of solidarity Walk together and we could work this out Talk together and we could understand We need the strength of our family's arms I wish I knew where to go from here We were aloud to take this on But this can't be here when we are gone Giving what we have now is to make this time That we have left last forever All that we have left is to make this time Last forever - Then we'll have learned Look into your son and forget what you see Protect what you love And show what you mean Before you send this sinking ship into the sea God damn, I wish we knew when we started this
