"Reckoning" lyrics
"Reckoning"
Hey, hey, little wonder
You walked the fields with all the fences down
You never knew the scent of the predator
You didn't know the house was on fire
And so you worked as you should
While they prey'd on all you ached for
And they pounced as they would
While the guards were away, oh
Hey, hey, you marauders
You got away while they claim I'm a liar
Why aren't the gods and heroes all around me?
And everyone's turning their eyes to the ground
And so you strike while it's hot
While the barricades are broken
You attacked at your will
While all the locks are frayed, oh
Hey, hey, you denier
Finally everyone is gathering 'round me
Now that we all know better, you'll be haunted
I hope you enjoy these drawings in your jail
And so brace, brace yourself
For this reckoning day
I was once, at a loss
Now I stand at the gate, oh

Most of the time
And so it is

No hero in her sky

I can't take my...

Since you took your love away

Macy Gray - "Beautiful" Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly
It's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain
I'm so ashamed
And I am beautiful

Words can't bring me down

Ah-ah-ah
There is no greater tool that you have than your voice
And nothing can take it away
You can use it for justice or the freedom of choice
