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
