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.
Can't squeeze blood from a turnip
And hold my breath blue
I've waited and waited
And waited on you
You do what you want
I'll do what I can
I'm trying to keep faith
In my fellow man
I have harvested nothing
By turning to you
I try and I try
And I try as I do
I've buttered my fist
Trying to keep my own plan
Oh, the damage I've done
To my fellow man
Like a stone to the river
That cannot be washed to the sea
They keep building it up
'Til it's taken enough
And it breaks a scene
Yeah, we break a scene
Well, I know that you want it
I can see in your face
It's a desperate reaching
Trying to trace
What some call delusion
That I seen it first time
That's the whispers of hope
In my fellow man
Like a stone to the river
That cannot be washed to the sea
They keep building it up
'Till it's taken enough
And it breaks the scene
Can we break the scene?
Like a stone to the river
That cannot be washed to the sea
They keep building it up
'Til it's taken enough
And it breaks a scene
Can we break a scene?
In the breath of the morning
Where will you be?
Waiting and waiting
Please wait on me
I know it's not easy
And I'm sure it's not grand
When you're trying to keep faith
In your fellow man
