Paralyzed — Sixpence None The Richer: текст песни

I look out to the fields where blood is shed upon the ground I breathe in, breathe out change the channel, (mute) the sound I take a match, a cigarette, and a walk to clear my head stomach seething at the thought of all those (human beings dead)

I breathe in, breathe out I'm going to an interview about a song, three minutes long that will mean nothing to you especially when your dearest friend was sent to cover Kosovo his last assignment brought a bullet and now he's gone, he's gone

feels like I'm (fiddling) while Rome is burning down should I put my (fiddle) down and rise up from the ground God give me strength to pray that You will set things right 'cause I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed

there was a (Christian) in the office sent to tell the wife (the news) fell in shock, the baby kicked, shed a tear inside the womb I breathe in, breathe out soak the ground up with my eyes I try to say a healing word but my tongue is paralyzed
