lyrics

I might act meek
Don’t assume that I’m weak
I don’t live life by someone’s critique
Who am I?
What have I become?
I tried to run
but my feet are numb
I snatched defeat from jaws of victory
I’m caught forever in recovery
Afraid of going blind I struggle just to see
One day I’ll write my symphony

How much more of this can I stand?
I’d go back to the farm, but mother lost the land

I listen to tracks
they’re from 40 years past
Nothing in life should go by that fast
Nothing in life was ever built to last
Ever since we’re born
The dye is cast
They say be serene with what you can’t change
and don’t shoot at things that are out of range
Some people make it and I watch them thrive
but we’ll never get out of this world alive

How much more of this can I stand?
I’d go back to the farm but mother lost the land

I’d go back to the farm but mother,
she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land

she lost the land
she lost the land

I’m blastin’ Bach
It’s New Year’s Ever
the bill collectors are on reprieve
Still all I wanna do is grieve
There are certain places I can never leave

Another year
Another scar on my face
Unending fear all over the place
Something somewhere’s bound to explode
I close my eyes, I see Jesus down the road

How much more of this can I stand?
I’d go back the the farm but mother lost the land

I’d go back to the farm but mother, she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land

she lost the land
she lost the land
she lost the land

she lost the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
I’d go back to the farm
