In Silent Grace - Everon

Big sun, up in the sky

You burn my skin

And you hurt my eyes

Big river, closing in upon us

Our lives are swept away

In your floods that rise

The farmer lays the crop

Down into deadly ground

Growing our children’s food

One day I walked in a river bed

A silent trace of waters that once flew

One day I stood on a mountain top

The world below was not the one I knew

We dance and laugh out in the acid rain

Are we travellers on a ship of fools?

Are we all blind

Are we all blind or maybe

We just don’t want to see

But want to trust that man on TV

Who’s saying everything’s going to be alright

Be alright for you and me

We walk right on the edge of nowhere

With our heads held high

And obviously nobody cares

They all walk on by

As if they were not concerned at all

You better look twice

At each line in the papers

You better look twice

At that man on TV

You better look twice

Into the eyes of your leaders

Or just look around

See the dying world

Don’t you see it fade away

In silent grace

One day I walked in a river bed

A silent trace of waters that once flew

One day I stood on a mountain top

The world below was not the one I knew

We dance and laugh out in the acid rain

Are we travellers on a ship of fools?

Are we all blind

Are we all blind or maybe

We just don’t want to see

But want to trust that man on TV

Who’s saying everything’s going to be alright

Be alright for you and me

We walk right on the edge of nowhere

With our heads held high

And obviously nobody cares

They all walk on by

As if they were not concerned at all
