One Flesh
With the sun in your eyes
Its easy mistaking
The truth from the lies
In the love that youre making
Dont pretend it isnt so
With the sun in your eyes
It always reveals
A voluntary bondage
That always appeals
Its how you make the garden grow
But why this weakness
No one knows
Our conscience cries its sorrow
While we sleep
But once the morning comes
Out the back door
Silently it creeps
With the sun in your eyes
Always reminding
A sense of excitement
Youve no hope of finding
With the chains that bind your feet
Belonging or longing
For a few empty hours
In a strangers bed
To chase away
A fear thats in your head
And why this weakness
No one knows
The vacant faceless voices on the phone
Bring words that offer no
Consolation when youre on your own
With the sun in your eyes
With the sun in your eyes
Beaten on the brow of history
A unison forged in slavery
In all thats hope and decency
A hope for you and a hope for me
Every woman child and man
Those wholl chain you if they can
The babe youre bouncing on your knee
Needs your help now
Cant you see
The babe youre bouncing on your knee
Needs your help now
Cant you see
