And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good,

I don't know how it got there"

Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity

Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry

There is nothing but darkness and agony

I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking

Let me watch you as close as a memory

Let me hold you above all the misery
A Em
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
