For Daniel

Sunflowers and birds with cherry wings All of the worlds beautiful things The things you can't see Becuase all that's in your face is a gun Freedom is something you now have to prey for Taken in by the mindless whores None of them care About you, your child, or your wife I wish your story weren't stuck on this page Such a beatiful bird trapped in a cage Caught in the net by the butterfly collector As you're proudly displayed within his showcase I'll still hate them but I hope they treat you kind And if one day they make you blind I'll scrape out my eyes and give them to you And you can blossom like a Sunday flower With you gone I'm in a craze You need to see to make it out of this maze They're not playing fair they're changing the turns You keep wandering but there aren't any doors They've got you down weeping on your knees And I'm on the sideline just begging please I love you like you were my brother I'd take your place though we've never met Blossom like a Sunday Flower Never give up your mind power Even at the hands of your collector Take my hand and I'll lead you out They clipped your wings and now you're bound Sneak out slowly and don't make a sound Through the chains you struggle free You've been so strong to be so patient Someday there'll be a hand to lead you out If it's not mine I promise you that I died trying The world can't let another Sunday Flower wilt You will blossom in innocent hands when God sets you freeFor Daniel Pearl... Everybody say a prayer for him. I don't care who you prey to - God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, the Goddess - Just prey to help bring him home!
