Watching You Fall

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
