|
I save life and kill time |
|
I'm stirred, never shaken |
|
And I wait for the bright ones |
|
To fix the mistaken |
|
But I lose voice every time my choice isn't taken |
|
Now your honor I'll |
|
Take the stand, raise my hand |
|
I can say that I won't stay any longer |
|
Half asleep in the light of the place, this place |
|
CHORUS |
|
I'll be ready for the storm |
|
That's my final answer |
|
Take me there I have been warned |
|
But a part of me |
|
Is leaving safety for the war |
|
Or I might fade away |
|
Back to a life half awake |
|
You take time and make up your mind |
|
You'll defend it |
|
But what good are your strong arms never extended |
|
You mean well but when you fail |
|
To act on good intentions |
|
You turn wisdom to a foolish man with a plan |
|
I can say that I won't stay any longer |
|
Half asleep in the light of the place, this place |
|
CHORUS |
|
We've waited on the world |
|
But it's being changed by someone else |
|
How can we stay asleep |
|
I've got to be here and you've got be here too |
|
CHORUS |
