The cradle of humankind
by Flogging Molly
lyricscopy.com
The sum of all my fears like dread
are from demons yet to come
All the things I should´ve mentioned
wave goodbye and "we´ll see you soon"
It´s the words I´ve never written
that say more about myself
Where empty is the promise
lies a pocket full of doubt
So may the road
I´ve yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
´Till the laughter sheds the darkness
far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Though my time may be less traveled than those
that came before
We´re all exiles here in madness
kicking down each other´s door
Unforgiven is the lesson
we pour upon ourselves
When a helping hand is needed
slap in the face is what we get
But I will fight for this right
and each moment of it´s life
´Till I witness all the differences
yet to heal
So may the road
I´ve yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
´Till the laughter sheds the darkness
far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Sometimes drink till I am empty
grab another from the shelf
Though I´m stuck in conversation
it´s with myself and no one else
Never listen to much reason till I hear it´s a last call
When I notice that my ghost is still dancing on his own
So may the road
I´ve yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
´Till the laughter sheds the darkness
far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Wherever you go
(The sun sets to rise
On a day that you find
You Struggle to be
But you´re already there)
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
(A passionless life
Has no words to write
It´s a body that´s broken
And breathless of life)
Oh, wherever you go
There´ll always be a roof and a dream above our head
As long as I´m breathing, then forever I´ll be
Ah, I will fight for this right
and each moment of it´s life
´Till I witness all the differences
yet to heal
So may the road
we´ve yet to take
Leave a smile across our face
´Till the laughter sheds the darkness
far behind
We still belong in the cradle of humankind
are from demons yet to come
All the things I should´ve mentioned
wave goodbye and "we´ll see you soon"
It´s the words I´ve never written
that say more about myself
Where empty is the promise
lies a pocket full of doubt
So may the road
I´ve yet to take
Leave a smile across my face
´Till the laughter sheds the darkness
far behind
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Though my time may be less traveled than those
that came before
We´re all exiles here in madness
kicking down each other´s door
Unforgiven is the lesson
we pour upon ourselves
When a helping hand is needed
slap in the face is what we get
But I will fight for this right
and each moment of it´s life
´Till I witness all the differences

So may the road
I´ve yet to take
