I have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can?t take that from me
Just go ahead and try
The crescent city sleeps
Watch lions in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Unleash a mighty cry
Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pile is burning
The severance is tight
And all along I 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 are resigning
A burning lullaby
You can?t take that from me
Just go ahead and try
She says that?s a sure line
With hands in the air
Her words miss the dark light
Does anyone care?
And all along I 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 there
Right there
Choking on the blackout
Upon which we here 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
