In the here and the now I wait
Down among the young and the old
Between the moon and the ground I play
With my children in my home
This is for the daughters and sons
Of forgotten ones
Just learning now to stand
This is for the innocent
Unknowns
Buried in the sand
From a crack in the blackness I wake
It seems closer every night
In my city the playground is a battleground
Between the wrong and the right
I could run free as a child
I was safe and wild
Naked and unarmed
Now I am grown
And safe in my home
But some will never stop
