What Would You Do? A Song

(Another song lyric.  This one's more of a ballad.)

Verse 1

Awake in the dark,

afraid in the night,

trying to sleep

as the bombs drop fire.

A pile of rubble

where your lover lived,

everything that’s left

of her whisper and give.

Chorus

What would you do,

where would you go,

when all that you had

is nothin no more?

What God will you pray to

whithout touch, without home?

What would you do,

where would you go?

Verse 2

Today’s lifeless body

a pile on the street

a message to you

from mansion or police

Sneak to the market

through bullet and blade

pray in the church 

for hope gone away

Chorus

What would you do,

where would you go,

when all that you had

is nothin no more?

What God will you pray to

whithout touch, without home?

What would you do,

where would you go?

Interlude

Try jungle on foot,

try floating by boat,

try hanging on train,

try coyote’s way?

No golden jet,

just desert and fence,

but why should you care

it only happens to them.

Chorus…

What would you do,

where would you go,

when all that you had

is nothin no more?

What God will you pray to

whithout touch, without home?

What would you do,

where would you go?

What would you do,

where would you go?
