lyrics

Where is my wife?

Where is my home?

I've lost my work i'm all alone

the pipes of my life are frozen

my will to live, overthrown


Where is our water?

Where is our food?

the dirt is starving

births no wood

the rice we planted is no good

we have collapsed where we once stood


Marco . . . ..


Where is my country?

Where is my psalm?

though shall not kill is camouflaged

in the sand paper planes abroad

for the rich man's oil

i gave my son


Marco . . .. .


We've called on the angels for relief

with fingerless hands they've watched us weep

their heads are heavy eyes deep

silently they share defeat


Are you out there?

Are you far?

if i can find the stage

i'll find your heart

this road's been heavy

it's been hard

where's there's death

there's a start


Marco. . . .. .Polo
