Feel the steel
In the air
In the water
Byproducts
Running through the veins
Underground
Sound the steel
See the light
Burning on the shores
A desire to go back
Backfired
While the steel mills
Burn
All night long
We have done something
Wrong
Feel the steel
In the air
In the water
Byproducts
Running through the veins
Underground
Sound the steel
See the light
Burning on the shores
A desire to go back
Backfired
While the steel mills
Burn
All night long
We have done something
Wrong
While your young
Pursue your dreams
While you are young
Why is this
What does it mean
How can it be
That as we age
We can not accomplish anything
While we are young
So youth implies dreams
Age implies death
Our own cultural symbols
Abolished as we went
So “go while you are young”
Some say
But rather
Go old and young
Both together
Can pursue dreams
Accomplish things
Even though people say these lofty words
And it doesn’t mean a thing
The lonely ones
Start early
And end late
They find a path
Constructed
From paper machete
From the grounds of
Sacred hollow
The lonely ones
Have a tough
Pill to swallow
The lonely ones
Changing our world
In silence
