Lyrics
Two of a Kind © 2012 Ken Kahn
Oh I have seen you there, borrowing time
Walking wounded and just tottering blind
Running low, falling down, falling behind
Let me give a bit more than sorrow in kind.
Oh, like a silent war, a plague on the street
Bad news torn in the wind lands at your feet
You are young, but as old as all you have seen.
I would have you recall what you have been.
Can they hear the whispers can you hear the praying
Candles that were burning, curses and damned lies
Half a generation, fabric that is fraying
This is not the way we chose to live our lives.
Some, some will turn away, weak or afraid
Bitten once and now fatally shy
Others standing their ground day after day
All your brothers and sisters and I
Beating back the whispers, joining in the praying
Light a million candles, dash a million lies
Look beyond the poses, step past the betraying
Take the morning given, bend it to our lives
Once, once I was a king, willful and blind
Closed my eyes, hardened my mind
Now I know, you and I are two of a kind
Now I know, you and I are two of a kind
