lyrics

Go On

silver fades
and leaves the sky to sparkle lonely
the river curls up its fingers
holds its breath and waits to die
but I think that this current will continue to guide us
flow its water here beside us
and go on

Holy men
heavy burdened by the answers
duty-bound to crown the martyrs
then decide who will burn in hell
but I think that their fury will just melt away to laughter
that we'll smile about it after
and go on

little boys
squatting on the beach with buckets
build their castles ever higher
then they rush to crush them down
but I think that we'll learn to see how nice it is to let things be
dancing toes along the ocean
and go on

little men
and all their talk of evil
look through the fun house mirror
see the cartoon figures there
but I think that our monsters grow from seeds we plant and water
we stand witness to the slaughter
and go on

Do you think
that all our footsteps follow circles?
that our choosing will offer nothing new
but the latest shiny toy?
well I think that this current will continue on to guide us
flow its water there beside us
and go on
