about

This was written soon after The Race, and was the second act in convincing us we could do something with a bit of drive. I think it holds up pretty well.

lyrics

Some dreams fail to last
Torn down by the fools in the black masks
Some truths drifting away
Washed over by the whim of day

You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Shackled by words from the sky
And we reach for the wind as it rushes by

To be free to live by a song
Grows too dear to meet the debt of the wronged
The truth served all along
No gold can help the soul to belong

You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Prison raised with best intent
And we reach for the wind as the veil is rent

While every answer is hidden under fear and jealousy
The truth still lingers over all of those with eyes to see
This disillusion and confusion
Hope will find a way

To be free to live by a song
Grows too dear to meet the debt of the wronged
The truth served all along
No gold can help the soul to belong

While every answer hidden under fear and jealousy
The truth still lingers over all of those with eyes to see
This disillusion and confusion
Hope will find a way

You’ve got nothing to fear
It won’t come to this
Prison raised with best intent
And we reach for the wind
