The Moon in the Sea (Lyrics)

The breakers

on the water

tell the story

of time…

…of time.

As the moonlight

dances madly

through the brine

in a million different ways…

…every night.

I see the sun

in the moon

and in the sea

in my eye

in that deeper part of me.

The firefly

in my lantern

is a symbol

of plight…

…of plight.

Trapped inside her

missed his calling

to fly

into the night…

…to shine his light.

So I release him

to his journey…

…to his journey

…to his journey

And his tailight

is reflecting

on the sea

With the moon…

… for a while.

Oh, but I can’t so easily

find a simple answer

to all the problems I have seen.

But I can see the sun

in the moon

and in the sea

in my eye

in that deeper part of me.

So I guess there’s hope…

…I guess there’s hope

Verse:

I don’t know what you’re trying to say to me.

Why can’t you, just let me be?

Sometimes I think I will never be free.

You’ve carved out your claim in my mind.

Bridge:

The same thing happens to me every day,

but I’m not broken by the things you say.

And I don’t have to be any certain way.

I won’t be captured by the jails you make.

Refrain:

Can’t you see that we’re all the same?

We don’t need these reigns,

On our hearts.

You bend minds of children,

and never set ’em straight.

Don’t you know that this just can’t go on?

Verse:

The force is strong but the strong survive.

It’s power’s weak where there’s will inside.

Yes, you can make monsters of men,

but, I’ll be no slave to thee!

Bridge:

The same thing happens to me every day,

but I’m not broken by the things you say.

And I don’t have to be any certain way.

I won’t be captured by the jails you make.

Refrain:

Can’t you see that we’re all the same?

We don’t need these reigns,

On our hearts.

You bend minds of children,

and never set ’em straight.

Don’t you know that this just can’t go on?

We Rise Each Day (Lyrics)

So, we rise each day in the morning

to the tune of the same old song.

And all the people put on their pretty faces

to become part of the throng.

Then you put on your shell that your supposed to be

and forget what you really are.

Then we enter the glut of the human void

in the heat of the Central Star.

Our minds all melt together

into one big robot mind.

So we can pass away the hours

now that we’re deaf and dumb and blind.

And the day fades away into darkness

but the end never comes to soon.

And the world turns to dust as you shed your crust

in the mist of the pale blue moon.

That’s when I sneak out into the still of night

While the whole worlds fast asleep.

I’m just a wondering what it’s all about

so I search for what I seek.

I make my way toward the hilltop

and that outpost hideaway,

as I think about the mass distress

that protrudes on every day.

I arrive at the ‘Shroud of the Silent’

where they’re hung on a different tune.

And they dream about tomorrow

In the mist of the pale blue moon…

…in the mist of the pale blue moon.
