Michael McGuire Since That Day Lyrics

SINCE THAT DAY
© Electric Babylon Music Author: M.M.


Since that day the universe seems bigger and the world is smaller, people
crawl a little lower and walk a little taller.
Since that day I’ve seen so many flags waving I feel a little sea sick, I tried
to wear that pride on my bumper but it just wont stick.
Since that day the eyes of a stranger don’t look so strange anymore, and
the eyes of a foreigner look like a ship from the shore.
Since that day it’s not safe to walk alone up or down Wall Street, you’ve
got to make a buck to spend a buck; a million people staring at their feet.
Since that day war is much more of a slogan than a war, we may never know who were really fighting against but we could never forget what for.
Since that day evil seems less theoretical and more substance and shape,
and mankind as a species less essence than ape.
Since that day world peace seems even more like a beauty pageant wish,
and the fall of America is the beast and his favorite dish.
Since that day people still talk about that day with pain and disbelief, so
much innocence stolen and we still want to catch that thief.
Since that day everything that has happened is in reference to that day,
like waking up with snatches of dreams still fresh in our minds we feel
our way.
