Four Horses

My brother's a hero, a soldier in Iraq
nobody knows he's a father from a one night stand
and I don't know what to think about that

complications arose while my mom was on the table
they asked me to pull the plug 'cause no one else was able
I don't know what to think about that

Four horses hanging over my head
I need no reminders we are close to the end
'cause I've tried to do it all on my own
but I need you, I need you

gated suburbia, parents too busy
miles from the homeless in their under-bridge city
I don't know what to think about that

Four horses whispering in my ear
I need to feel something that will shed me some tears
'cause I'm tired of all the things that should break my heart
and I need you, I need you

after darkness, light...
after darkness, light...
after darkness there will be light
