Some folks trust to reason, others trust to might

I don't trust to nothing, but I know it come out right

Say it once again now, whoa I hope you'll understand

When it's done and over, Lord, a man is just a man



Chorus

Playing, playing in the band

Daybreak, daybreak on the land



Some folks look for answers, others look for fights

Some folks up in tree tops, just to look to see the sights

[Alternative: ... just looking for their kites]

I can tell your future, whoa just look what's in your hand

I can't stop for nothing, I'm just playing in the band



[chorus]



Standing on a tower, world at my command

You just keep a-turning, while I'm playing in the band

If a man among you, got no sin upon his hand

Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band



[chorus]

Playing, like a wave upon the sand
