There  In the dark  There¹s a child and she¹s waiting  Lost in the maze of a fait accompli  Is it a crime to be just hesitating  While we¹re pretending that we never see  On a TV mounted on the wall  From this distance I can see it all  And I¹ve been out here  Watching you  Watching you fall  Is there a trick to the art of not feeling  Safe in our world while another¹s child bleeds  Praying that God won¹t demand a redealing  Of cards we have held and pretend you don¹t need  On a TV mounted on the wall  From this distance I can see it all  And I¹ve been out here  Watching you  Watching you fall  Better not think about it  In time we¹ll start to doubt it  Christ has risen  Keep him hidden  God forbid he sees  It¹s not that we lack the vision  Only just a quick decision  Who will blame us  Rules restrain us  It¹s all in history  So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping  Avoiding the chance that you¹ll visit my dreams  On a TV mounted on the wall  From this distance I can see it all  And I¹ve been out here  Watching you fall
