Lyrics

You know we’re in a free fall
And the cost is so high
All the things so wrong and cruel today
Feels like they broke our stride
Down and to the left, holy bereft
They’re swimming on the floor
Their compass of greed, points to stores and need
But we know that less can be more
-
Well I read it in books and again in your face
The ‘haves’ want even more
The pressure’s building, we’re losing the race
And the ‘have-nots’ know the score
-
They’re headed down to the church on a Sunday
Hypocrites the rest of the time - and I…
-
It’s a beautiful thing - alone
To be content with the songs that you sing - even when you’re all alone
All alone
-
I’m floating down, on solar lines
Surreal, so real, inside a Parrish sky
-
In the back of my mind I feel it
The affront has arrived
The last ship against the darkling sea, sails
For a place where I thrive
-
It’s a beautiful thing - alone
To be content with the songs that you sing - even if you’re all alone
All alone
-
We’re taking a ride, taking a side
Try not to hide - now maybe
Let’s downplay the greed, cut down our need
Live to be free - now baby
We’re stopping the ride, choosing a side
Waving goodbye - now maybe
Let’s lock up the greed, turn down the need
Maybe we’ll be free
