Shape the Invisible

Just another day
Love seems so far away
There's no sign of life
In Eden's garden
Just another day
Liberty's coming out to play
On a Belfast street
Concrete stained
Blood and rain
I'm ashamed

There's a broken man
Praying for a wounded land
Oh why can't we shape the invisible
For faith that's blind
The voice of reason cries
Oh why can't we shape the invisible

Just another day
Brotherhood won't show his face
In the neighborhood
Drive by shots
Time stops
Doors are locked

Behind my door
Fear is keeping score
Oh why can't we shape the invisible
And the dealer won't rest
'Til he sells a child Death
Oh why can't we shape the invisible

Just another day
Walking in the steps of Cain
In the desert sun
Lightning strikes
Chemical lights
Burn my eyes

A mother's son
Is now a soldier marching on
He's been told to shape the invisible
Under poisoned skies
The children wonder why
Our fathers can't shape the invisible

Somewhere a small boy is playing with his toys
Someday his innocence
Will Shape The Invisible
