“It’s a real ly old cit y, stuck be tween the dead and the liv ing;”
so I thought to my self
sit ting on a grave yard shelf,
as the ech o of heart beats
from the ground be low my feet
filled a cem e ter y
in the cen ter of Queens.
I start ed run ning the maze of
the names and the dates; some
old er than oth ers, sky scrap ers, lit tle tomb stone broth ers.
With Man hat tan be hind her, three mil lion stun ning re mind ers
built a cem e ter y
in the cen ter of (CN.C.)Queens.
(C5)You’ve said, “Re mem ber that (Em)life is not meant to be (F)wast ed;
we can (G7sus)al ways be chas ing the sun.
So, fill up your lungs and just run,
but (G7sus)al ways be chas ing the (G7)sun.”
So how do you do it
with just words and just mu sic,
cap ture the feel ing that my earth is some bod y’s ceil ing?
Can I de liv er in sound
the weight of the ground
of a cem e ter y
in the cen ter of Queens?
There’s a his to ry through her, sent to us as a gift from the fu ture,
to show us the proof.
More than that, it’s to dare us to (G7)move,
and to o pen our eyes,
and to learn from the sky,
from the cem e ter y
in the cen ter of Queens.
(G7sus)al ways be chas ing the (G7)sun.”
All we can do
is
try
and live like we’re still
a
live.
