You turn away from the hurt
Cast your fire in the dirt
Rage against the one you love
Rage toward where rage comes from
Drop the hat and love is gone
She meant to share but you heard it wrong
Pierce your heart just like a sword
Walls go up and we have war
Forgiveness heals the deepest wound
Wets scorched earth like a monsoon
Find the gift in every slight
And it will take away the bite
Your feeling hurt, afraid, and mad
Why does it make you feel so bad
See the fear where she comes from
Her father left when she was young
Then he died
Suicide
Forgiveness heals the deepest wound
Wets scorched earth like a monsoon
Find the gift in every slight
And it will take away the bite
Two towers fall before our eyes
Three thousand people grope for sky
One man sits there in a chair
While Forty children sit and stare
Ten thousand bombs fall on Iraq
For we’ve just got to get them back
Five billion hearts now filled with fear
At every backpack that comes near
One big blue planet spinning round
Only God knows where we’re bound
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
All fall down.
Forgiveness heals the deepest wound
Wets scorched earth like a monsoon
Find the gift in every slight
And it will take away the bite
You turn away from the hurt
Cast your fire in the dirt
Rage against the one you love
Rage toward where rage comes from
