Everlasting

When I was born
I was shaken
I felt the anger
And the breaking
I saw the dangerous and fragile way
It takes a cigarette to burn a field
(Now in the air
I feel the chill
And the excitement for the kill
We sell our virtues to the bank
Swap our force for a silent cry)
The only weapon is the soul
Like walking over burning coals
The only strategy is love
To sink below or rise above (rise above)
So all I know
Set your soul
To the everlasting goal
On remote, love controls all your never ending hope
(all your hope)
(I took a drive and saw the world
And all the bullshit that we are sold
And how there ain't a bar of gold
That isn't good enough to take
I see the lights and flashing smiles
I see the love go on for miles
I see the strangest way
That everybody seems to get along)
The sorrow cuts into the soul
Like raindrops into burning coals
The only strategy is love
To sink below or rise above, rise above
So all I know
Set your soul
To the everlasting goal
On remote, love controls all your never ending hope
(all your hope)
