Dear Brothers and Sisters!   Dear Enemies and Friends!   Why are we all so alone here?   All we need is a little more hope, a little more joy   All we need is a little more light, a little less weight, a little more freedom   If we were an army, and if we believed that we were an army   And we believed   That everyone was scared   Like little lost children in their grown up clothes and poses   So we ended up alone here   Floating through long wasted days   Or great tribulations   While everything felt wrong      Good words   Strong words   Words that could've moved mountains   Words that no one ever said   We were all waiting to hear those words   And no one ever said them   And the tactics never hatched.   And the plans were never mapped.   And we all learned not to believe.   And strange lonesome monsters loafed through the hills   wondering why   And it is best to never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever wonder why      So tangle; Oh tangle us up in bright red ribbons!   Let's have a parade   It's been so long since we had a parade   So let's have a parade   Let's invite all our friends   And all our friends' friends   Let's promenade down the boulevards   With terrific pride   And light in our eyes   Twelve feet tall and staggering!   Sick with joy   With the angels there   And light in our eyes   Brothers and Sisters   Hope still waits in the wings   Like a bitter spinster   Impatient   Lonely   And shivering   Waiting to build her glorious fires.   I's because of our plans man;   Our beautiful ridiculous plans!   Let's launch them like careening jetplanes!   Let's crash all our planes in the river!   Let's build strange and radiant machines   At this Jericho waiting to fall
