hush...

it seems quiet
the tides settled
the breeze seemed warmer

no one's out on the beach
no kids running
no parents yelling

no boat set sails
out to the sea

no, words
hush!

keep them doors closed
turn off your cellphones
there will be no talks
out in the open

we lay down the cards now
put to rest the chess game
see what cards you got

let me trade these with those
but he has those
none of us have that
what if he wants these
we'll give him those

that way we'll all balanced
he'll have his part too

keep them doors closed
don't let us be seen in the open
I promised them some news though
how shall it be read?

hush!
not a word out
we'll just send the circus out
sing them songs too
when party is over
we are back together
