"I've Seen Dominoes" Lyrics

See the black tile line up
A thousand in a row
And if the beginning one topples
One by one they start to go
Creeping demolition
Gradual collapse
The foundation we built on
Becomes a twisted scene
Of falling dominoes
And my sorrow grows

A midnight knock on my door
Wants to sleep in my living room
He said, "Bec and me have gotten so bad
I couldn't stay there anymore"
I tossed him a blanket and remembered
How they used to be
How they loved each other
One after another
The bonds between them tumbled
Just like dominoes
And my sorrow grows

Mother and child
Woman and husband
I've seen the reaction
(Life chain)
Looks like a mild breakdown in communication
I've seen dominoes
Oh, I know how they fall
I know how they fall

See the neighborhood lineup
A hundred houses in a row
So many wounded families
Feel the anguish overflow
I met a boy this afternoon
Kicked out, someone said for his own good
I don't know who was right
I don't care much who was wrong
This boy don't belong on the street
And my sorrow grows

Mother and child
Woman and husband
I've seen the reaction
(Life chain)
Looks like a mild breakdown in communication
I've seen dominoes
Oh, I know how they fall
I know how they fall I know how they fall

And my sorrow grows
Children, can't we stay together?
God in heaven, give us love forever
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness, people?
Can I get a witness?
