The Arising

who's moonwalking
how far is the climb
we all know
if we're not blind
it'stime...oh clock
it's time...oh clock
it'stime...oh clock
who's going to
walk on the deep
who's going to raise
 sons and daughters
up from sleep
we all know
we all feel
something beneath
our feet
trying to be strong
but, still
we are trying
to get over the hump
to the other side
we don't know why
we cannot fly
we don't know why
we have no trust in us
so we march until
there's no more
beat in us
the sun is feeding us
the moon is calling us
the stones are calling out
won't be long
from now on
we must continue
singing our song
walking it out
makes us strong
tightens our calves
so when it's time to run
we're gone, at last
