Once we planted something
Is that called "hope"?
You ought to know
There's no telling why
Some things just never grow
You ought to know
This equation
Has no summation
You oughta know
You ought to know by now
Once we built up thick walls
Is that a home?
You ought to know
Was is it just to have
Some thing to call our own?
You ought to know
This composition
Has no transition
You oughta know
You ought to know by now
Once we buried something
Had it gone cold?
You ought to know
There's no way to say
Where long dead wishes go
You ought to know
You ought to know by now
