In our youthful condemnation the truth speaks for itself
That in an hour of darkness, Someone cried for help
So he told a simple story of innocents and lies,
How the truth became so twisted, in a single judges eyes.
Our brave new rainbow nation, was floating on the tide
in a sea of expectation, and a hard won sense of pride
but the wave of solidarity, that swept across our land
was broken on the rocks left lifeless on the sand
It all seemed very simple, let the guilty take the blame, we can sing our song of
and put them all to shame. Shine a light into the darkness, let them hear his name, but the
we tried to change things, the more they stayed the same.
And no one else but Tyler knows exactly what this means, He's a man thats dissapearing,
ceasing to exist, and the only contribution that he has left to give, is the simple
story of a life he's never lived
(FREE Gary Tyler!!!)
