Savage, raging through the sea
“Give peace a chance.”
Signs held high, and
“Sometimes peace ain’t free.”
One man thinks opposite another man’s belief
Children die as women scream
“It’s not your body,” and
“Just let the babies breathe.”
I’ve got to find my feet
Stop this train from billowing steam
Before the distance spans further than the bridge can reach
I ran in circles all night long
On my calloused feet
And, “Hey, kid, it won’t amount to anything.”
But, “Do your best to live your dreams.”
The mountain peaks seem so tall
Higher than I’ve ever seen
And, I’ve heard, “The higher the ladder, the further the fall.”
But, “Sometimes it takes a fall to find your wings.”
So, I’ve got to find my feet
Start these wheels and gain some steam
Before all the conflicting wisdom breeds indifference in me
