Alegria, Alegria
There's a grey horse standin' still
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
As the rain pours off his hat
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes
Now the cannons are silent
His friends are all gone
Gotta put it all behind him
If he ever wants to find his way home
He's the last rebel on the road
Just a boy with his old guitar
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
But he carries on
Got a dream that will never die
Can't change him, n
Acrobat
So you're a poet
But you've never got a line
Some failed creation
None of it was worth my dime
So much attention
And you horde it like a thief
But you never worry
Just drain them 'til you find relief, yeah
Did you trip the wire?
Did the whole thing blow?
Did you come alive
when it was over?
Darling beware
You're no acrobat
You shot to dove
Must believe you're the colossal coming
Cruel and unfair
You'll always be that
Sure as I'm gone
I hit the ground and I'm more than running
Well, any kind of treason
And you follow like a sheep
Well, everyone's joking
But you cut down a little deep
There is no limit
To whatever you become
You smile at the teacher
But you love yourself more than anyone, yeah
Did you trip the wire?
Did the whole thing blow?
Did you get in time to the shade?
Will you come alive
when it's all over?
Over!
Darling beware
You're no acrobat
You shot the dove
Must believe you're the colossal coming
Cruel and unfair
You'll always be that
Sure as I'm gone
I hit the ground and I'm more than running
Darling beware
Darling beware
You shot the dove
You shot the dove
Cruel and unfair
You'll always be that
Sure as I'm gone
I hit the ground and I'm more than running
