lyrics

I have bore witness to events that are not my business
While exercising persistence and unintentionally improving fitness
For it is not my mission to arrive in this position
To talk as people listen for I am but a simple musician
And I fear the future moving in

While striving for perfection under constant dissection
Others seeking motivation but end up with frustration
Show me a saint who’s not a sinner or justified faith in a beginner
An answer to all our problems from that new face whom wants to solve them
Still I fear the future moving in

For it doesn’t matter which platform you support
Nor the reasons that you purport
As each is but a stone in the wall
Just elected to fall

So look upon those with power, once obtained becoming sour
Perhaps a mission cast upon us, to not keep what they promise
Or maybe the position overwhelming, unaware of what they’re selling
And you can say what you will, still you’re stuck with the bill
And I fear the future moving in

Finding solidarity demanding change, but none can be arranged
Still having to work within the system, even though you are against them
Trying to flee from oppression, but it’s in every direction
And you may think you have some time still, but history works in cycles
And so I fear the future moving in

For it doesn’t matter which platform you support
Nor the reasons that you purport
As each is but a stone in the wall
Just elected to fall
