There’s a line, there’s a dozen more | |
Wrapping in a room, your country doors | |
There’s a man, he’s holding a pitcher of water | |
Follow him into the house, | |
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again | |
You will never get, up as close, as you expect | |
This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave | |
Every age has said, we will call, we’ll come again | |
And when they say, | |
(oh yes, they please don’t keep on going on and on) x4 | |
The biggest lie we tell ourselves | |
We’re already in hell | |
Blood shines upon us, it maces and covers. | |
There’s a man that pours, | |
Throughout the floor and door, | |
There’s a light and there’s a dozen more | |
Nothing in the country doors. | |
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again | |
(This is the last time this will happen) | |
You are will get, up as close, as you expect | |
This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave | |
(This is the last time this will happen) | |
Every age has said, we will call, we’ll come again | |
We are taught to think of our success in terms of numbers | |
If touching one persons life is a good thing, then touching one thousands people lives must be a great thing, | |
It’s easy to see where we learned to think this way | |
Our whole society revolves around mass production | |
The more units we can move | |
The more customers we can serve | |
The more boats we can get | |
The more money and the more stuff we have, the better, right? | |
Maybe it’s not possible to touch one thousand peoples thinking, or as powerfully as one person. | |
Maybe it’s not really so revolutionary after all, to have one person out of a group of twenty, tell everybody else what’s right. | |
Wouldn’t it be better if we tried a decentralized approach where everyone works closely with those around them, instead of a few people waiting in anonymous mass? | |
Do you have to save the world all by yourself, why don’t you trust someone else to do it with you? |
