Through the world and new
I thought we had it
Me and you
With grace and glory
Unknown to us
We had run a race
And just went bust
We give no ease
No sleep down
But tonight
We are living on top
Of the town
Through the world and new
I thought we had it
Me and you
With grace and glory
Unknown to us
We had run a race
And just went bust
We give no ease
No sleep down
But tonight
We are living on top
Of the town
What moves us
To action
What brings us to our knees
Of in action
Whose words do we believe
When the mountains
Block the path to the seas
When the desert winds
Keep us from our kin
In the silence we must learn
As the silence continues
We continue
To grow
Wise
Not old
Take the pay
Leave the people
Who is taking the stubs
When the president wins
Paid in advance
With taxes due
Who would have knew
What one man can do
With unfettered desires
To light a blazing fire
While a waining night fades
The ultimate game has been
Played
Goals set up
What can either be achieved
Or grieved
Held on to and flourish
Or fallen to the side
And malnourished
Objectivity
Subject to change
Some day’s life goals
Seem strange
Tend and sift
So in time dreams grow
Hoping they take us all
Where we want to go
How you bring me
Such unbearable news
How the world weaves
Confusion
Motion pictures
In my head
The news of the week
I can’t take
One more dead
Illusions
Dillusions
Collisions
How can we separate
The fake
A mistake
The real
From untrue
This unfortunate news
Just wears on me
Higher levels of uncertainty
Everyday now
Holding out
For good news
Holding pattern
Above the sea
Waiting for clarity
On you and me
While the waves crash
Soft on the shore
You and I wait
Just one minute more
VERSE I
Summer parks
Cool pools
Picking up
And skipping school
Can’t wait until the weekend
Make it out of this place
Getting in trouble
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright moons
VERSE II
We ran from park to park
Staying light and free
Dodging all the eyes
Looking at you and me
Just hold on
We are inches from being free
CHORUS
Getting in trouble
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright full moons
BRIDGE
We make our way
In this life
Holding hand
Feeling alright
Sand and swings
Let’s make this moment
Everything
Getting in trouble
A bit too soon
But bring me those summer nights
And bright full moons
