music by Between Liberties, lyrics by E.May

lyrics

It takes a while to wake up
I just ate those words whole
That’s all there was to know

But that won’t be my reality
There’s nothing saying it has to be
Forget this forgotten story
It’s for the people or it’s not for me

What have we left to build?
These things we’ve killed
You look at me and say
Balance will be centered
All things do come together
Sometimes you’ll have to come our way, so

Lift me up with song if you find that I have fallen
& if we sing in sorrow, I will never sing alone
Sung through darkness, it will carry me through tomorrow
& if you sing this song, we will never sing alone

all the world I see - once evergreen
Small pieces of debris where the mountains used to be
It was all that I could see

What about the waking world?
I’d rather die by this torture
Then live on torturers terms
It’s not just about the weather,
It just won’t give them pleasure
To upturn progress we have made, so

All the world, all I see - once evergreen
Small pieces of debris where the mountains used to be
It was all that I could see
We are walking down the road
The only one we’ve ever known
And it’s a long way I know, but it will turn around
Just one more time around
CHORUS
This little piece of Eden is my own humble garden
And if we sing, we will never sing alone
