" "

Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself,
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages,
Sonny's yearbook from high school is down from the shelf,
And he idly thumbs through the pages,
Some have died, some have fled from themselves,
On a struggle from here to get there,
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls,
Runs his hands through his thinning brown hair.

Additional quotes by Paul Simon

Prayers offered in times of peace are silent conversations,
Appeals for love, or love's release, in private invocations But all that is changed now.
Gone like a memory from the day before the fires.
People hungry for the voice of God
Hear lunatics and liars. Wartime prayers. Wartime prayers
In every language spoken.
For every family scattered and broken.
