Watching You Fall Lyrics

There
In the dark
There¹s a child and she¹s waiting
Lost in the maze of a fait accompli
Is it a crime to be just hesitating
While we¹re pretending that we never see
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Is there a trick to the art of not feeling
Safe in our world while another¹s child bleeds
Praying that God won¹t demand a redealing
Of cards we have held and pretend you don¹t need
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you
Watching you fall
Better not think about it
In time we¹ll start to doubt it
Christ has risen
Keep him hidden
God forbid he sees
It¹s not that we lack the vision
Only just a quick decision
Who will blame us
Rules restrain us
It¹s all in history
So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping
Avoiding the chance that you¹ll visit my dreams
On a TV mounted on the wall
From this distance I can see it all
And I¹ve been out here
Watching you fall
