"Help Is On The Way" lyrics

I have my mother's dreams
I have my father's eyes
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try

The crescent city sleeps
While giants in the sky
Preparing to unleash
Let loose a mighty cry

Can nobody save us?
Will anyone try?
The pyre is burning
The severance is dying

And all along they say it
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way

Five thousand feet below
As black smoke engulfs the sky
The ocean floor explodes
Eleven mothers cry

My bones all resonate
A burning lullaby
You can't take that from me
Just go ahead and try

She says that's the shoreline
With hands in the air
Her words miss the dark night
Does anyone care?

And all along they say it
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way

Right here, right here

Right here, right here

Right here, right here

Choking on the black gold
Upon which we rely
We keep actions in the attics
To see cameras in the sky

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)

We were told just to sit tight
Cause somebody will soon arrive
Help is on the way
But it never came
It never came

Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Help is on the way
(They said, they said)
Hold my hand to help see
Right there in front of me
Help is on the way

On the way
