ABELENE
                    
Abelene, the day is done
         
war was fought
        
war was won
           
I believe that
             
you believe that
                    
We are not the only ones 
                      
Abelene, the truth is clear
                              
we spend our time in love and fear
              
And I believe it
            
you believe it
                         
and we are not the only ones
                      
Do you recognize your life
                     
looking through the eyes
                                                                    
of your angry youth and sordid past?
                              
but Abelene, there is a difference
                               
between the face that's in your mirror
                      
and the one that's on the
                     
carbon dated photographs
                             
Abelene, your light still shines
                                 
purest reason, and plainest rhyme
               
And I believe it
                  
and you can see it
                       
and we are not the only ones
                   
Abelene, the day is done
               
the war was fought
            
the war was won
              
And I believe it
                 
And you believe it
                       
And we are not the only ones
          
I believe it
            
you believe it
                     
We are not the only ones
                  
We are not the only ones
