[00:12.40]The other America
[00:19.74]You can find her Sundays
[00:24.06]Sitting by a stream
[00:28.16]On her own
[00:31.18]All alone
[00:34.99]The other America
[00:42.04]Might show up on Tuesdays
[00:46.44]At your kitchen door
[00:51.10]She will ask politely
[00:55.58]"Is anybody home?
[01:01.99]Or did they all lay down
[01:08.63]To sleep through the now
[01:14.34]And if they all lay down
[01:20.60]I'll be waiting for them
[01:27.56]At the river bed
[01:32.97]Once they wake from their rest"
[01:40.79]
[01:42.77]The other America
[01:50.06]Takes herself to night school
[01:54.52]To understand the law
[01:59.16]She may bring you questions
[02:03.67]When she finds the flaw
[02:09.99]"Why did they all lay down
[02:16.57]To sleep through the now?
[02:22.40]And if they all lay down
[02:28.40]I'll be waiting for them
[02:35.76]At the river bed
[02:40.86]Once they wake from their rest"
[02:47.86]
[02:52.10]We could be opening a doorway globally
[02:55.84]But that's okay
[02:58.33]Once upon a time you had faith
[03:01.26]You would not be swayed
[03:03.57]By fools untouched by clairvoyance
[03:07.34]And you swore that we'd be brave
[03:10.89]Well not today
[03:13.92]No not today
[03:19.72]Because we all lay down
[03:25.79]To sleep through the now
[03:31.66]And if we all lay down
[03:38.17]She'll be waiting for us
[03:44.92]Where the rivers cross
[03:50.40]Once we wake from our rest
[03:56.70]"All the best," The Other America
