I've seen enough sunsets,
done enough roller-coasters.
I've smelled enough flowers,
watched enough bees.
What happens to you
is what matters to me.

So many feel powerless
and so we all are.
Democracy's promise?
not much promise at all.
If you were my neighbor
our differences would fade
Which of us shall drive the first nail?

I had hoped, hoped, hoped that
September eleven
would bring us together.
But what was I thinking?
We all love firefighters
and that's about it.

Don't show me
the planes crashing
again and again and again.
I've seen enough.
