Fire and rain...they will conceal me
And weave a broken tapestry
Through smoke - where tracers fly like fireflies.
Voices spoke
And in a stroke they changed things
Before my eyes.

Now we're moving slowly.
Do they know I'm only
Waiting for a chance to fly away?
Things are getting larger...
Your voice is drifting farther...
I'm seeing things I've never seen.

I think my head is misbehaving.
Laughing faces seem to say
"We've got you now - you've been such a child."
Down beneath the clouds - we're only angles
Afraid to fly.

Oh...this condition of everyman.
We fight - everyone against everyone.
Back then we could not see
The blood...the tears... the screams of men
With death upon their faces.

And here - the senses quickly die.
We live among the death and waste of foreign lands.
Is this where I should be?
My country needed me.
We came for all the fools in higher places.

We came for all the fools...
We came for all the fools...
We came for all the fools in higher places.

We came for all the fools...
We came for all the fools...
We came for all the fools in higher places.
