You say you're going to
The garden, and I should come and play
I feel like I should tell you there,
There were wolves there yesterday

We walked and I said nothing
I didn't want to hurt the mood
I know we can't outrun them
But the flowers smell so good

Those wolves in the garden
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
Ahhhhh
It's a sunny morning
They gave no warning
Those wolves, those wolves
In the garden

I know I could have saved us
But we'd have never known this day
If this is where we had to go
Well then I'm glad we went this way

All that's left to see is
What kind of flowers we'll become
I'm sure we'll be the kind
That bring children out into the sun

Those wolves in the garden
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
It's a rage storm forming
It gave no warning
Those wolves, those wolves
In the garden

Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden
In the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...

Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...
Wolves in the garden...

Wolves in the garden...
In the garden...
Wolves in the garden...

    The guy's behavior is the opposite of what my own is. I'll destroy the flow/emotion of a conversation to prevent future problems. I imagine it's quite frustrating to be my friend.

    Anyways, I kind of envy this guy for being able to appreciate the present instead of fine-tuning the future. I think I'm too controlling/manipulative/honest for that.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
