Heidi Has Got Her Gun

Lyrics

Here we are full of life
We risk misfortune chasing shadows of the night
In our hearts we are no longer what we’ve been
We have come a long way, still we see

Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes
Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes
Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes

We know the storm may not begin until we reach the time when we hope we’re at an end
Seeking treasures lying still beneath ground
We have come a long way, but now we’ve found

Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes
Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes
Heidi has got her gun
Here she comes

I sit and watch the river run, but rivers do run dry
And birds can never reach the sun, no matter where they fly
A stitch in time, a memory, a specter we can’t forget
But it’s dying like the sun beneath the sky

So, hold on to that dying day; you’re not alone … believe it
You’ve been lost and crossed in the Central Office but soon it goes away
And you’re among those who see it

Up on a hill with your eyes you’ll find the light
Don’t let your dreams bring those teardrops down
They’re calling out
The sun’s not gone hey hey hey
Cause you know, in their eyes, you can find the way you are
Beyond the years, there are no feelings left to hold you down
You’re still in love
But guard yourself, Heidi has got her gun

Just look to the morning that dawns in your head
You’re searching for someone, you think they’re undead
But now the raven is flying on high
You found the answer, does this mean good-bye to life

Where do they fly?
They’re only there for wanting needs and maybe down the road you’ll find your fear
Sitting in sight
Beyond the score of many lives there seems to be a shining light

So, I’m writing this song for the chosen ones who’ve left and gone
Their memory lives on in the morning light but if we cannot right their wrong
I wonder how we’ll find the strength to carry on

Don’t dry your tears
Let them remind you hate and fear don’t live alone
Hold your dreams deep inside you
Don’t let those years become unknown

Now it’s clear for those forgotten
Hope is here to carry on
Time will fly
The misbegotten can’t deny what happened long ago

Up on a hill with your eyes you’ll find the light
Don’t let your dreams bring those teardrops down
They’re calling out; the sun’s not gone hey hey hey
Cause you know, in their eyes, you can find the way you are
Beyond the years, there are no feelings left to hold you down
You’re still in love
But guard yourself, Heidi has got her gun
