Lyrics

Thereโ€™s a light shining through the scars Of a million tired souls Kindled in the heart of us all From a flame can come a witchโ€™s fire Or a warm hearth in a blizzard Calling us in from the darkness The golden age has come and gone So-called progress marches on The best of all things in the worst of all times The future is here - all nickels and dimes The same old story sells itself Class and conduct - labour and wealth Waiting in their station for a train thatโ€™ll never come So many times - I found myself at odds With the words of self-styled kings But I had not the strength to deny them And other times - I tried to still the waters Running canyons in my mind But I only managed to get in my own way But I dare to hope that the clouds will break And the good sun will prevail To burn away the cruel fog of war And turn the scorched earth green They can nail me to the pearly gates And salve my wounds with lye They can do many things But they wonโ€™t make a fool out of me. Thereโ€™s a life carved out in the stars For a billion burdened souls Waiting around to die On the day you stand to meet your maker Be it a god or Mother Nature Can you say that lived the right way? Can you say it?
