The Wading Pool

We were watching as the buildings fell
 And the ground folded
 Minutes passed and the destruction was over
 Dust and rubble fill the stagnant air
 Blotting out the sun
 The beauty lost in moments as the wars begun
 Something isn't right
 There's always more to any fight
 Losers pay with life and limb
 Is this the price when others win?
 Pages show the human plight
 Ignores the past for present sight
 No one sees the other side
 Trapped within the hopeless lies
 Drowning in the wading pool
 We were watching as the waters flowed
 And the sky darkened
 Hours passed as the plains turned to oceans
 Sound and fury thundered in the air
 Can't tell day from night
 Wallowing in pity at our lack of insight
 Something isn't right
 There's always more to any fight
 Losers pay with life and limb
 Is this the price when others win?

 Drowning in the wading pool
 Something isn't right
 There's always more to any fight
 Losers pay with life and limb
 Is this the price when others win?
 Pages show the human plight
 Ignores the past for present sight
 No one sees the other side
 Trapped within the hopeless lies
 Drowning in the wading
 Drowning in the wading
 Drowning in the wading pool
