Hot Coffee and Warm Cats

from I've Got a Fire by Englewood

/

lyrics

I drink in the dawn, working slow at the gym;
I sink in the fog, now I'm all settled in,
With hot coffee and warm cats,
My own oasis from all that's

Screaming from the headlines,
So many dead.
Waiting in the breadlines,
Bleeding from the head.
Starving in the streets or the refugee camp,
Freezing in the night, huddled round a lamp.
Soldiers with masks and evil-looking guns;
Mothers waiting up for their sons.

My family's all home, snug in their beds.
I wait in the dark, looking ahead,
To hot coffee and warm cats;
It's easy to ignore all that's

Screaming from the headlines,
So many dead.
Waiting in the breadlines,
Bleeding from the head.
Starving in the streets or the refugee camp,
Freezing in the night, huddled round a lamp.
Soldiers with masks and evil guns;
Mothers waiting up for their sons.

They wish they were home, their family all there.
No more bombs, living life without fear.
With full stomachs and warm bread,
Children safe in their own beds.
With peace in their streets and in their hearts.
Is there any way I can do my part
To share my hot coffee...
