You were born on a windswept morn
Under the summer sky
They moved you past all the kids in your class
You never even asked why
Oh the golden days
Lying awake at night
Hearing the ocean spray
Nobody counting the lives youve cost
No mothers crying for sons theyve lost
Nobody watching at all
Just you and the road as it curves and bends
Doing little jobs for your daddys friends
One day when the world is right
Were going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdoms gone
And your friends moved on
Were going to watch you fall
Were going to watch it all
One fine day
Stuck your hand in a desert land
Hoping that liberty shines
Counting the sins of the ones you put in
Sweeping the roads for mines
Its funny how it all works out
You sleep sound at night
Me I have my doubts
I see a people all tired and torn
Moving along like a gathering storm
You see nothing at all
Walking around with your head in the clouds
Praying to God that it all works out
One day when the world is right
Were going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdoms gone
And your friends moved on
Were going to watch you fall
Were going to watch it all
One fine day
Nobody waves good-bye
When you sneak away one night
Under the blood red sky
Leaving a town where hopes gone cold
A little more helpless than it was before
Listen close youll hear
A cry comes back from the burning sand
One more kid in a broken land
One day when the world is right
Were going to walk in the bright blue light
When your kingdoms gone
And your friends moved on
Were going to watch you fall
One day when the world is right
Were going to walk in the broad daylight
When your kingdoms gone
And your friends moved on
Were going to watch you fall
Were going to watch you crawl
One fine day
