I have my mother′s dreams

I have my father's eyes

You can′t take that from meJust go ahead and try

The crescent city sleeps

While giants in the sky

Preparing to unleash

Let loose a mighty cry

Can nobody save us?

Will anyone try?

The pyre is burning

The severance is dying

And all along they say it

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Hold my hand to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Five thousand feet below

As black smoke engulfs the sky

The ocean floor explodes

Eleven mothers cry

My bones all resonate

A burning lullaby

You can't take that from me

Just go ahead and try

She says that's the shoreline

With hands in the air

Her words miss the dark night

Does anyone care?

And all along they say it

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Hold my hand to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Right here, right here

Right here, right here

Right here, right here

Choking on the black gold

Upon which we rely

We keep actions in the attics

To see cameras in the sky

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight

Cause somebody will soon arrive

Help is on the way

But it never came

It never came

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Help is on the way

(They said, they said)

Hold my hand to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

On the way
