If all the world were innocent and true.
One flag unfurled.
A belief in all we do.
Wrong your rights.
A change from what you are.
Refracting light.
A billion tiny stars.
Stand in line - but if you want to run.
Just say the word.
On your mark with reasons not to start.
On your guard with terror in your heart.
Fall apart.
It comes as no surprise.
Fail to chart.
A gauntlet of goodbyes.
Hold the line - but if you feel the need.
Just say the word.
Bleed your life.
Your innocence will do.
Read your rights.
Believe in something true.
There've been times when you don't even know.
Ignore the signs pointing where you'll go.
Why you came doesn't matter anymore.
Just say the word.
Breathe - defecting from the ranks.
Free - elude the armored tanks and break away.
On your mark with reasons not to start.
On your guard with terror in your heart.
For your time you weren't that bad at all.
Sad you lied but no one's keeping score.
Stand in line - but if you want to run.
Just say the word.
