Anything for Progress

She tells me that time
will heal all our wounds
She points to her heart
and says here is your proof
She shows me the scar
where the arrow went through
Broken by one
now its beating for two
Come on little soldier come fight for me,
I'll love you on the land, I'll love you in the sea.
Kiss me hello let's make memories
and don't be afraid of what we might be,
because in this life there are no guarantees
that everything is roses down on easy street.
The buildings could fall you could be underneath
but i'll be right there with a shovel and relief,
saying, "Follow my voice and you'll soon be free,"
reach in the rubble pull you up to me,
wash away the sting of the cold concrete,
singing, "My dear, it was just a bad dream."
As my body grows up, I don't want to grow cold
but this is all I know
Two weeks passed wanted time to think
I made a little list of the things I need
held it up to yours and we're all in sync
Called you on the phone said "Honey it's me."
Baked us a cake and I cut it in three
Gonna sit here and wait till' we both find peace
Take a left at the light you'll be on my street
house with the ribbon tied around the old tree
Lift up the mat and you'll find my key
slide it into the lock and you;ll sound be free
The flint will crack those old memories
singing my dear it's just a bad dream
As my body grows up, I don't want to grow cold
but this is all I know
We're gonna fix this place up
Turn it into a world of our own
It's gonna spread like good news
In the streets in the buildings and the windows and the homes
We're gonna give it a fresh coat
its gonna feel like new years day
like everything before this
will all dissolved with a flicker of the flame
On our own.
