Me or Them? (Looking For The Curls)

from Dreamsongs by Sam Brightbart

/

lyrics

The kids threw stones across the river
Where the spray paint does not face the trees
Hurling their parents' neglect and their unfed desires and their poverty

Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
And into the water

Overcoming the challenge of distance
And none of them seemed like they cared
That their friends were their targets, their angers all knew that the rush of the game

Made this war
Made this war
Made this war
Made it right

The kids threw stones as I walked past
In the middle of that jealous road
And they were not aiming at me, they just did not understand that my rage

Was equally true
Was equally true
Was equally true
Their eyes were all blue

Now the kids still throw stones at each other
But I have re-found all those pretty red curls
The eyes of my father turn upwards and gaze eternally

Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
And into the water
Into the water
