Where is everybody going

Always learning never knowing

Try to stop the world from turning

But it won't slow down



I was the one you gave your heart to

But after all, what did it get you

It was enough to put an end to

The rising flames



We stand like burning timber

Helpless among the cinders

I prayed for rain when the sky was blue

What else could I do



We need to work our way around it

And let it be the way we found it

The more that everything keeps changing

The less we are gaining



We stand like burning timber

Helpless among the cinders

I prayed for rain when the sky was blue

What else could I do



You build me up to cut me down

You fight me tooth and nail

Now hand in hand we walk alone

Along this blazing trail
