We Sing in Time - The Lonely Forest

Let us pretend we’ve got it together

Let us ignore the coming sun

We’ll sing the body electric

Let us pretend we’ve got it together

Let us ignore the coming sun

We’ll sing the body electric

Until machine and soul are one

I’ve seen the tweaker struggle

Syringes lined his floor

A cycle churned to life

By dead end jobs and a government’s war

Oh, in time the trees die

And light will fade

But I hope for a new breath

A new life to take me away

One by one the monsters trample

Through woods and dirt they feed

What sort of world and plight

For our children must we lead?

Let us burn the nation’s budget

Let’s send boys overseas

To fight ghosts in the desert

Instead of teaching them to give and lead

Oh, in time the trees die

And light will fade

But I hope for a new breath

A new life to take me away

In time

We sing in time
