Sympathy for Tomorrow

I'm not asking for favors
Not tonight
I look up in the sky
All the rockets fall down (fall down)
Too many promises
Too many words
Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"

"But it never lived
And it never died
It never came from them
It was always inside."

I don't care if time just passes us by
I can stand the change
But not the cruelty
Too many promises
Too many lies
Too many faces for me to know

Sometimes I sit among the markers
And contemplate my next life
Says something less sympathetic-
"a little more unconditional respect was buried here"

"But it never lived
And it never died
It never came from them
It was always inside."
