Tip Toe

Tip toe through
 Tireless peace
 Come and go,
 Leave your toys and sweets
 When, if I had a place
 You could visit me
 Read fairy tales, play
 Hide and go seek
 Cliff faces are far too steep
 Even though we try to
 Smile through our teeth
 This surface is not so deep
 Although we have our
 Secrets to keep
 Tightropes are seldom
 Too weak
 Say I've lost my shoes or
 I have cold feet
 Say stranger how did we meet
 And who will hear us
 When we start to speak
 Our shadows are still
 Out on the street
 My skin is still as
 White as a sheet
 Our time is short and fleet
 Empty pockets, trick or treat
 We all need food to eat
 Friend or foe we all go to sleep
 Life away from home is
 Far from cheap
 So look long now before you leap
 So soldier please have a seat
 You're only alive while
 Your own heart beats
 There will always be
 Wolves among the sheep
 But what's left of the
 Earth will be ploughed
 By the meek
 Ploughed by the meek
