We left our lives under burning soil Rode through the desert sands On a trail of dust and bones For the promised land We used to dream of better days Haunting screams of forgotten souls Shadows turned to ash The foreign land that we used to know Shattered in a burning flash We used to dream of better days As we look through our window Down on the street There were twelve thousand lives there Twelve thousand dreams How I wonder who they were Are they truly lost? As we look through our window Down on the street There were twelve thousand lives there Twelve thousand dreams How I wonder who they were Are they truly lost?
