Promises made in haste they say, are broken at leisure
Abandon all hope, ye who enter
You'll never know you were alive until you're dead,
unless you venture where others fear to tread
It's time for a little less carrot and a little more stick (that's what they say)
A little less easy and a little more strict
But these are just words and sounds
Is there any truth there to be found?
Yeah these are just noises that rhyme
But they captivate us and capture the divine
Hey!
Would you rather a flawed diamond, than a perfect pebble?
Did you fix the roof whilst the sun was shining?
Hearts are often broken by words unspoken
So let it all out whilst the flood gate's open.
Our mediocrity is not hard to see
As the sapling is bent, so grows the tree.
But these are just words and sounds
Is there any truth there to be found?
Yeah these are just noises that rhyme
But they captivate us and capture the divine
Hey!
I heard you say we're gonna get there, eventually
So I know we're gonna get there, eventually
Oh you said we're gonna get there, eventually
So I'm sure we're gonna get there, eventually
Yeah you said we're gonna get there, eventually
So I know we're gonna get there, eventually
