Sophie

Sophie

 

Sophie sings the upper middle-class blues                            

Boredom is the villain paying her dues                                 

Not a child not an adult in between                                       

Living the hell you knew well called a teen                          

 

And I say Sophie what are your dreams?

What will you give away what will you keep?

I ask Sophie what are your dreams?

And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep

 

Lots of information nothing to learn

In my mind I find a quiet concern

So much potential dead on the inside

I recall the days I wanted to hide

 

And I say Sophie what are your dreams?

What will you give away what will you keep?

I ask Sophie what are your dreams?

And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep

 

She’ll have a vacation jetting away

Her parents have money they’re willing to pay

Run away close by or flee really far

But you can never ever leave what you are

 

And I say Sophie what are your dreams?

What will you give away what will you keep?

I ask Sophie what are your dreams?

And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep

 

And all my peers grew up to be old

And all my peers their soul is sold

Looking back through the years I know why

Living the truth is harder than living a lie

 

War rumbles life stumbles things looking black

After you grow up some days you’ll look back

Sophie I tried to warn you it’s red alert

I wrote this with love so child don’t be hurt

 

And I say Sophie what are your dreams?

What will you give away what will you keep?

I ask Sophie what are your dreams?

And Sophie sighs I wanna sleep 

Hear Sophie!
