LITTLE ONE
(© 2006 L. Fiorentino, BMI)


And the little one says brings your guns to your mother
The little one says bring your tears to the sea
The little one says bring your prayers to your father
The little one says bring your heart to me

And the band played on and the freeway sang
and the bullets they cried as they blistered and rang
when the crying was over and the music was done
all the world was still spinning round the eye of the sun
at the end of the day and at the turn of the wheel
there was nothing left to do and nothing
right to feel

and the little one says…

then the atom split and left a broken home
leaving each and every one to defend their own
the genome surrendered its secret code
under duress from progress and the pony that it rode
all the love that we had and all the love that we knew
splintered into something free,
something strange, and something true

And the little one says…

There was no way to describe it, no pictures to paint
You can’t make something out of something that it ain’t
What if fear was just a butterfly that landed on you
Hey, hey, what would you say and what would you do
With something so fleeting, so fragile so frail
You could watch it fly away or imagine it in jail
And keep it alive fed on lies so sweet
Oh it’s funny how we know just what fear will eat
For what has fear ever done but reveal to you
All you thought you never were
and all you thought you never knew
And you cannot destroy what has always been
Take a look around, my love,
at all the love you have been in

And the little one says….
