Falling Behind
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.
We are all equal but
We're individually different
And able to reach
The impossible if we try.
We find faith and strength
In the most unlikely places
And love sometimes eludes us
But we try.
We keep searching
And one day we find ...
Life goes on and around
Like a wheel
It keeps on turning
That's the deal.
Why are we running?
We're running so fast
To keep from falling behind.
Problems come and they go
And in the end
What will you show?
Why are we worried?
We worry so much
Worry about falling behind.
Is it really all about
The thing of what you wear
And what you think I'll think?
Who has more?
Arabs and Jews at war
I don't care anymore.
It's always
The same tired story.
How many dead
In the name of some god?
And what's the difference?
Don't give a damn
About their differences.
Nothing's sacred
Once the shooting starts.
Life goes on like a wheel
It keeps on turning
That's for real.
Why are we running?
We're running so fast
To keep from falling behind.
What may come and what may go
And in the end what will you
Show for all your worries?
Why worry so much
Why worry about falling behind
The plans already in motion
It happens whether we say.
The old world order is over
Intelligence and love
Win the day.
I won't regret one moment
Life is too short for that
Bring it on.
Life goes on and around
Like a wheel it keeps
On turning, that's the deal.
Why are we running?
We're running so fast
To keep from falling behind.
Problems come and they go
And in the end
What will you show?
Why are we worried?
Why worry so much?
Don't worry about
Falling behind.
