The Lyrics of Terry Hubbard

New Dawn Of Tears

written 1986  ©1986 - 2010 by T. Hubbard

 

C’mon everybody, let me tell you a tale 

of that which was hidden, and you know so well,

of children looking up to find they’ve grown old, 

the fire in their hearts gone nearly cold.

 

 

In a dream on out on the edge of a wall, 

I saw a beast there waitin’ to eat it all.

 

 

Ruling the day, claiming the night, 

I thought I heard a demon laughing with delight,

The times seemed to change with the hope we would bring,

the world joining in with the song we would sing.

 

 

But; In golden temples made of mud, 

I saw dead dreams lyin’ in a pool of blood.

 

 

Life goin’ on it’s only known way, 

hopin’ to leave, tryin’ to stay.

so came a light prismed out from the sun, 

made us believe we could be the one.

 

 

But; In a cardboard house painted like someplace, 

was an inside joke on the human race.

 

 

And you can see, I know that you can see. 

You understand, we’re not all we can be.

 

 

Well, “Time waits for none!” I could hear them say,

but we’d make it last forever if we knew the way.

Dreamin’ of a day in the middle of night, 

in ten thousand years couldn’t live one right,

 

 

and just inside the atmosphere, 

a flaming sword is waiting there.

 

 

Now some of the people are in disguise, 

you better look for the truth that’s behind the lies.

Livin’ in a prison of fear and device, 

you should’ve learned you couldn’t trust them twice.

They murdered my brother from Galilee, 

 

 

but the bad news is that didn’t set us free.

 

 

And we could all die for just thinking this, 

or be bound in the chains of ignoring bliss.

Go on ask your love who you’re talkin’ to, 

better take it to the limit 'till you know it’s true.

 

 

If you got a dream, better hold on tight, 

if you want to steal one you’re in for a fight

 

 

And you can love, I know that you can love. 

Flying in the sun, we can be like the one dove.

 

 

So this was the story I had to tell, 

of all the angels born and living in hell.

Some of the darkness, and some of the light, 

and every single one seems to shine so bright.

 

 

But; If we can shake this plan of fears, 

tomorrow won’t bring a new dawn of tears.

 

 

And you can love, I know that you can love. 

Flying in the sun, we can be like the one dove.

Now it’s in your hands, and you know you must stand.

Here I’m tellin’ you, you got to tell me you understand,

‘cause it’s the truth now, that I’m talkin’ about.

If you hear me, help me sing it out, while there’s still time, 

while the sun still shines,

‘till we’re free.
