On a building, on a window, painted words: "IMAGINATION"
Carry guns into the 'burbs and shots are fired
We run to look at what He's done
It's this graffiti in the sky that makes me sit and wonder why I lock my doors...
And we fight wars.
On a Sunday it's the writing on the wall that makes me worry
Off a building, when I fall and hit the ground
We see
Imaginary He
It's this graffiti in the air that says my brother doesn't care so lock your doors
We fight wars on drugs
On the doorstep of a daughter and her son
Because we carry more than just the weight of chosen ones
It's true, we hold the future, too
It's this graffiti on my street that makes my sister stomp her feet and lock her doors
The solution that I see
A revolution and a dream
Is that we never take no more than we all need
It's this graffiti in the sky that makes me sit and wonder why I lock my doors.
