There's A Need

from the core of the dark
to the spark of the heart
there's a need

sons falling into souls
ships breaking on the shore
there's a need

it's the way her eyes were cast
through the sockets of the past
there's a need

from the west to the east
from the famine to the feast
there's a need

from the strong to the weak
from the desert to the streets
there's a need

from the left to the right
from the darkness to the light
there's a need

from the governors of war
to the pawns who heed the call
fhere's a need

she's sleepwalking with the damned
a photo etched in her hands
there's a need

we're all waiting in the night
together for the light to take us there
the promise of a greater fate
with all your dreams complete
in the warm last place

we are many millions more
we have not been here before
there's a need

we've come so far so fast
and the first are now last
there's a need

from the little child in arms
to the leaders of the land
there's a need

hopes are towers in the skies
dreams are wings taking flight
there's a need

it started rising round the world
like any other sun to start a day
the promise of a greater fate
with all your dreams complete
in the warm last place
