Guess what
words: Naomi Wallace
music: Robert Campbell
images: The War Boys

Baby when you look up, guess what
There's still a cloud
Baby when you turn, guess what
The storms still loud

But if you let me take your hand
I'll make for you a promised land
Baby when you look at me, guess what
I'm yours

To find you, I had to close my eyes
To find you, I had to break the lies
Touch my face, only you know
There's still a place
Where I'm alive
Where I'm alive
Where I'm alive
And that's with you

Darling if you take a step, guess what
I'll take one too
Darling if you dream the sky, guess what
I'll make it blue

And if you let me hold you tight
I'll make every hour right
Darling if you take a step, guess what
I'll take one too

To find you, I had to close my eyes
To find you, I had to break the lies
Touch my face, only you know
There's still a place
Where I'm alive
Where I'm alive
Where I'm alive
And that's with you

The lyrics for this song were written by Naomi Wallace who also wrote the screenplay for The War Boys, based on her play of the same name. It's always fun writing music for someone else's words. It takes you off in directions you'd never think of exploring on your own.
