She
Mankind Is Obsolete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All around
In a place unknown
Many paths, many truths unfold
There she stands reaching out alone

In the dark
She still breathes in light
She's there blowing kisses to the past
Rays of hope
Dotted skies she dreams
Thinking of better times she lives and waits
Begin

Everything feels so numb and cold
There she stands, reaching out alone
Sinking ship that sailed too far away
From home

She's throwing fear away,
She won't be frightened anymore

Reaching out, I'm reaching out to you
For hope

And she sleeps with angels tonight,
Waiting for you
If I could give words to heal,
I'd give them to you

Are you there?
Are you still there?
I'm waiting for you,
Reaching for you
Are you there?




Are you still there?
I'm calling out for hope to reach you
