I caught a glimpse, a silhouette, across the way

No circumstance or unseen glance, could make them stay

The big black cars with cherry stars

They congregate contemplate most complain of common pain

But they don't really know

So I start to say that it's okay

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide

A Crime, insane well who's to blame

Another hero fades away

I hear a knock upon the door

From never never land

He told the tale of love and pain, and unseen contraband

Smoke filled room with peasants believe in Santa Claus

From history to present the world goes round and round

So I start to say that it's okay

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide

A Crime, insane well who's to blame

Another hero fades away

We see the world with different eyes, in different ways

From boys to men we learn to hate, never learn to pray

The tired huddled masses they need a Santa Claus

You can try and close your eyes and hide

But they won't go away

So I start to say that it's okay

If we can just survive the selfishness that we all hide

Crime, insane well who's to blame

Another hero fades away

Fade away
