There
In the dark
Theres a child and shes waiting
Lost in the maze of a fait accompli
Is it a crime to be just hesitating
While were pretending that we never see
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And Ive been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Is there a trick to the art of not feeling
Safe in our world while anothers child bleeds
Praying that God wont demand a redealing
Of cards we have held and pretend you dont need
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And Ive been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Better not think about it
In time well start to doubt it
Christ has risen
Keep him hidden
God forbid he sees
Its not that we lack the vision
Only just a quick decision
Who will blame us
Rules restrain us
Its all in history
So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping
Avoiding the chance that youll visit my dreams
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And Ive been out here
Watching you fall
