Ghosts

Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh I see the distant smoke across the waterway I'd swim a thousand miles just to hear you say The words that never come when you need them most To dry your eyes out Is it your mother's tongue? Or your father's ghosts Remember sticks and stones and how they broke your bones Pain is how you learn, boy, you learned a lot When they hit you in the face, and you begged them all to stop Until you rose up again And you tried your best to surrender Bowed down your head Then you looked up to the sky and said "My God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean Wanna stay here forever God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean You're my gateway to Heaven" From underneath the dust, you see the curtain call Can't bear to watch another generation stall To the hands of greed that will take it all And cut your heart out See the face in the shadow Just a thread in the seams We'll be ghosts by tomorrow Just to a day in a dream But you'll rise up again, and you'll fight against the surrender My friends, don't wait Just look up to the sky and say "My God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean Wanna stay here forever God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean You're my gateway to Heaven" "God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean Wanna stay here forever God, what a beautiful scene Now I know what you mean You're my gateway to Heaven" Gateway to Heaven You're my gateway to Heaven Gateway to Heaven Alright
