True to Life

Slipping thru the cracks and caught in between With the flashes of the fake who like to see and be seen With power and the passion that comes from within It's a steeplechase climb that has no end Diplomacy knocks on a forgotten door It's a knock unheard or easily ignored But to stay and build bricks starting one by one Still knowing this race has miles to run Get it out-stir it up- shout it out now Get it out-stir it up- shout it out now Get it out-stir it up- shout it out now Get it out-stir it up- shout it out now Looking for a sign or a sound to find That puts a spring in the heel -an extra step in time Alone- all alone in the pouring rain To listen for a voice from the astral plane In lunar rotation here comes the songs That spin right thru till the break of dawn 3 Minute heroes that fill a void With a golden lasso that's out to destroy Get it out stir up shout it out now Get it out stir up shout it out now Get it out stir up shout it out now Get it out stir up shout it out now Step in time Alone all alone and without aid From the fair-weather friends who are easily swayed A lifelong journey under a blazing sun Drifting in and out and forever shunned Everything that rises must converge With truth in the shadows it'll soon be heard Everything that rises must converge With truth in the shadows it will start to surge Speak out loud-say it plain A tug of war-a train in vain Never give in-but do without Never cash in-never sell out A search to find but not to claim Tracing back a long lost name The will to forgive-but not to forget A time to heal-but not to acquit In times so good- times so bad In these long lost years We were all we ever had
