The Killing of Georgie (Pt. III)

Good morning America
What is on your mind
We were so close to something
That we all could get behind
We were almost shaking hands
Making progress, making plans
And we could have made a difference
But the stars were not aligned
And even in our sleep
A pain that we cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart until
In our own despair
And against our will
Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God
Georgie's life ended there
But I ask who really cares
Let the word go forth from this time
And from this place
Do we hold these truths
To be self-evident?
Will we ever get around it
And are we ever gonna face
That even in our sleep
A pain that we cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart until
In our own despair
And against our will
Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God
Georgie, please stay
They took your breath away
It's not what we were hoping for
And it's not what we need
I still have a dream
Rooted in the American Dream
One day this nation will rise up
And it will live up to its creed
And even in our sleep
A pain that we cannot forget
Falls drop by drop upon the heart until
In our own despair
And against our will
Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God
They can shake down the mountains
The hills can be removed
But love and faith won't be replaced
They can shake down the mountains
The hills can be removed
But love and faith won't be replaced
And even in our sleep
(They can shake down the mountains)
A pain that we cannot forget
(The hills can be removed)
Falls drop by drop upon the heart until
(But love and faith won't be replaced)
In our own despair
(They can shake down the mountains)
And against our will
(The hills can be removed)
Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God
(But love and faith won't be replaced)
In our own despair
(They can shake down the mountains)
And against our will
(The hills can be removed)
Comes wisdom through the awful grace of God
(But love and faith won't be replaced)
They can shake down the mountains
The hills can be removed
But love and faith won't be replaced
