Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She got up from the kitchen table
Folded the newspaper and silenced the radio

Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea, sea


Those creatures jumped the barricades
And have headed for the sea
She began to breathe

To breathe at the thought of such freedom
Stood and whispered to her child, belong
She held the child and whispered

With calm, calm; belong

Stood and whispered to her child, belong

She held the child and whispered
With calm, calm; belong


These barricades can only hold for so long
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning
She took the child held tight

Opened the window
A breath, this song, how long
And knew, knew; belong
