Abelene

Abelene, the day is done
war was fought
war was won
I believe that
you believe that
We are not the only ones
Abelene, the truth is clear
we spend our time in love and fear
And I believe it
you believe it
and we are not the only ones
Do you recognize your life
looking through the eyes
of your angry youth and sordid past?
but Abelene, there is a difference
between the face that’s in your mirror
and the one that’s on the
carbon dated photographs
Abelene, your light still shines
purest reason, and plainest rhyme
And I believe it
and you can see it
and we are not the only ones
Abelene, the day is done
the war was fought
the war was won
And I believe it
And you believe it
And we are not the only ones
I believe it
you believe it
We are not the only ones
We are not the only ones
