Below The Surface
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Some people tell you
Theyre trapped in the distance
And cant get what
They want most.
They throw a wall
And then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Youre running so fast
That you cant find the past
And your future is wearing thin
Come from behind
Its a matter of time
til you see where youve always been
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Some people tell you theyre in trapped in the distance
And cant get what they want most
They throw up a wall and then
Call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
You know that your
Life must have a purpose
You better make a stand
While you still can.
