Diluting The Medicine
Forging melodies and stealing rhymes
Secondhand stories that have lost their shine
I know it's temporary, it'll go with the night
But sometimes I feel I'm losing life
Somebody's already dancing to an old love song
Somebody's already found comfort in a lament for someone gone
Somebody's already found hope in a hymn to carry on
Do they really need another one
Or am I diluting the medicine
This ain't no pity party scheme
Well, we all got questions to the harder things
As my hand glides over your name in marble stone
I wonder if there's answers in there you have that I'll never know
Somebody's already dancing to an old love song
Somebody's already found comfort in a lament for someone gone
Somebody's already found hope in a hymn to carry on
Do they really need another one
Or am I diluting the medicine
Somebody's already dancing and fallen in love
Somebody's already found hope again and they'll carry on
And the river's now cleaner thanks to Pete Seeger
And I guess we all felt a little more free as we sang with Springsteen
A million came, a million more will come and baptize the earth
Do they really need another one to add to their worth
Is this doing any good
Or just diluting the medicine
Secondhand stories that have lost their shine
I know it's temporary, it'll go with the night
But sometimes I feel I'm losing life
Somebody's already dancing to an old love song
Somebody's already found comfort in a lament for someone gone
Somebody's already found hope in a hymn to carry on
Do they really need another one
Or am I diluting the medicine
This ain't no pity party scheme
Well, we all got questions to the harder things
As my hand glides over your name in marble stone
I wonder if there's answers in there you have that I'll never know
Somebody's already dancing to an old love song
Somebody's already found comfort in a lament for someone gone
Somebody's already found hope in a hymn to carry on
Do they really need another one
Or am I diluting the medicine
Somebody's already dancing and fallen in love
Somebody's already found hope again and they'll carry on
And the river's now cleaner thanks to Pete Seeger
And I guess we all felt a little more free as we sang with Springsteen
A million came, a million more will come and baptize the earth
Do they really need another one to add to their worth
Is this doing any good
Or just diluting the medicine
