The More That I Know

歌詞

Time passes and I wonder why Some will live while others die As sadness sings a lullaby to love Love laments with swollen eyes While mothers weep and fathers try to disguise That precious life is gone for good Gone for the good of you and me For freedom peace and security Yet liberty is only free to be afraid Afraid of the news in the morning post Of someone else's Holy Ghost Of becoming what I fear the most What can be done? The more that I know Wherever I go I want to be close to you The more that you say The more that I pray That I can be close to you The more that I know The more that I know Walkin' through the afternoon I've been listening to the month of June As sunlight turns to cooler moon and crickets songs Songs that speak of times forgotten Rinds of rotten fruit returning to the earth The breath of life that she once gave Gave to give and take away In time I learn to lay my worries down Upon the shoulders of the whispering wind Wind that touches everything And everything it touches sings and dances Chances seem to fade then reappear repeat chorus Why must the innocent suffer so? From where does evil arise? Who is this infinite god of woe? Wrapped in an ancient disguise Maybe god and the devil are one? Just like the earth and the sky Maybe I'm living too close to the sun Maybe it's all been lies It's all been lies repeat chorus ad lib to end
