The Body
The body underneath the dirt
Purple body of the earth
Do the hungry buildings hurt your skin
Or are your endless gifts to man
An attempt to right your sins
Steady ears receive the word
And turn across the conquered world
Searching hard for something to discover
But what could they hope to find
When each time they pass by one another
I see, yet I am blind
I can never seem to find my way
On an aging earth, left to be explored
I can feel only what I can afford
Oh parapet of human thought
See what havoc you have wrought
This generation has been taught to hide
But what will happen to our world
When all hidden wisdoms coincide
Symphony of dying light
Strung out in the vacant night
Have you ever had to fight to save your soul
Or do you just listen to the planet's humming roll
Purple body of the earth
Do the hungry buildings hurt your skin
Or are your endless gifts to man
An attempt to right your sins
Steady ears receive the word
And turn across the conquered world
Searching hard for something to discover
But what could they hope to find
When each time they pass by one another
I see, yet I am blind
I can never seem to find my way
On an aging earth, left to be explored
I can feel only what I can afford
Oh parapet of human thought
See what havoc you have wrought
This generation has been taught to hide
But what will happen to our world
When all hidden wisdoms coincide
Symphony of dying light
Strung out in the vacant night
Have you ever had to fight to save your soul
Or do you just listen to the planet's humming roll
