Ribbons Of Red


White lights, so bright
That it feels you're drowning in
Cold nights, you might
Never really surface from

I've heard no words
That can ever seem to speak
In part for hearts
Broken by such tragedies

Red light, lost sight
Of what we're truly living for
In time, you'll find
It doesn't matter anymore

I've seen these dreams
Swallowed up and taken whole
Though blind, I'm mindful
Of the ones who lost it all

Wrapped in ribbons of red
We'll honour memories instead
For every one in this room
Attached to those gone too soon

I know it's not what they meant
But choices aren't accidents
Let's learn to learn from mistakes
Take care and try to stay safe

What made them think that they knew better then?
Made them think that they were better men?
Too wise to then repeat

Well that's the problem with this proving ground
Losing arguments are never sound
All odds with the deceased

But when you say that you're all in
And there's nothing left to win
You play for keeps

Wrapped in ribbons of red
We'll honour memories instead
For every one in this room
Attached to those gone too soon

I know it's not what they meant
But choices aren't accidents
Let's learn to learn from mistakes
Take care and try to stay safe

Take care and try to stay safe
Take care and live to stay safe
