lyrics

Little footsteps
On the stairwell
Little fingers
Waving farewell
Little footsteps
Walking slowly
Through the debris that's lying before me

Little footsteps
Don't look at me
Little curls
That used to fall freely
Little footsteps
Walk right past me

It's quite a question
That you've got there
It's quite a complex that you've got there
Oh I've got the unnerving feeling
That you're not finished speaking

Little footsteps
Walking faster
See the boys that are hurrying past her
Little footsteps
Walking into the fire
F I R E
Little footsteps cannot hear the shouting
Little footsteps don't know where they're going
Look up, look up
The sky is burning

It's quite a question
That you've got there
It's quite a complex that you've got there
Oh I've got the unnerving feeling
That you're not finished speaking

And HEY
Did you think it would all work OUT
Did you think you could tear it DOWN?
Was it worth all the HOPE and doubt?

And now that your world is finally turning to dust
And now that you've bargained away all the last of your trust
They say they teach freedom and love
They still say they teach freedom and love

Little footsteps
On the stairwell
Little fingers
Waving farewell
Little footsteps
Not a symbol
Just a child who's not home for dinner
Little footsteps
Not a martyr
Just a child who got lost in the warfare
