Children Lyrics
Once I dreamt I woke up inside a room
All the other dreamers were there
Swaying back and forth with roses on our cheeks
All their eyes were closed
Watch how the clouds move the water

Poisoning ourselves with intentional deception
Setting fire to every foreign land we come to
Killing every foreign thing we come to
I'm waiting for the hour that we come to
There's nothing else to come to
Once I woke up in a room
All the other dreamers were there
Even as we slept they were sleeping
Nobody knew we were there
