lyrics
Boy I wouldn’t ever do that, Lord wouldn’t even
try
Standing in the way dear, with that blood soaked
eye
And you held that crooked tooth
Scrapin’ long the ground with that screech
What would the neighbors think dear, if they saw
you?
What would the neighbors say dear, in the night?
Well should we all just make believe okay dear?
Well should we all just make believe all’s right?
We’ll noose the hardships and decay
We’ll disregard the only way
And say
Yes I can make this! Yes I can do this!
Yes I can love this! Yes I can make this all right!
But I’ll have to give, to the heart, to the love, to
receive
All the change I wish, for the world, which needs
to be
Separate from that greed
Of the gods, of the kings, and their queen
So we may awake, to a soul, which lives
And breathes
Yes I can make this! Yes I can do this!
Yes I can love this! Yes I can make this all right!
But as I hit the ground dear, You turn to walk
away
And as I scream for hands dear, You turn to
slowly say
You turn to slowly say
The truth is that we only cope, We disregard to
maintain hope
And so the world is ending, lets say goodbye my
friend
Perhaps it can be mended, before we reach the end
Lets hope we’ve done our part to stay
Lets disregard the only way
And say
Yes I can make this! Yes I can do this!
Yes I can love this! Yes I can make this all right!
But I’ll have to give, to the heart, to the love, to
receive
All the change I wish, for the world, which needs
to be
He wasn’t very old, I’m told!
Hard not to notice the fingers move
Hard not to believe in the muscles you choose
But carving the face up just to make you smile
And tearing the limbs off just to take more for a
little while
Just lay me down with the wind and the rain
Separate from that greed
Of the gods, of the kings, and their queen
So we may awake, to a soul, which lives
And breathes
Yes I can make this! Yes I can do this!
Yes I can love this! Yes I can make this all right!
