Rivermaya


Ground 

Could you sleep tonight 
And be dreaming tight in your heaven? 
Your warm heaven 

Would you be feeling right 
When children cold outside 
dream in rain? 
Dream in rain 

Would you come down 
From your pedestal? 
Could you try and touch the ground? 

Every day the mirror 
stares you in the eyes 
of your face / see your face 

Can you watch television? 
Ain't it like the mirror? 
See disgrace / see your face. 

Would you come down 
From your pedestal? 
Could you try and touch the… 

Maya on the dying tree, 
The cockfight honesty 
The sidewalk vendor's 
glorious symphony 
Could you stare 
Would you care, 
would you Save your prayers 
Save a prayer 
Say a prayer 
For the children of the rain
