lyrics

Don't stand so close to the water
The crest of the wave may drag you home
But, you don't want to go there child, no
Just keep moving on as the earth moves beneath your toes

Take both my hands and let's step away
Leave all our troubles for another day
But, don't look down or around, it's all moving to quickly by
just like a dream, you can see it's all gone in the blink of an eye

(Chorus)
And, the battle lines of freedom have been drawn
While the king upon his throne is looking on
Take it to the streets and occupy
Bring peace beneath the city to the light

Lift your glass tall and let's all celebrate
The good love shared among us on the better days
'Cause in not too long, we'll all be buried six feet in the ground
So, stand up high, and let's all try to make it through somehow
Oh, somehow

Leaves falling quickly past my knees
Yellow they glow through the Autumn breeze
And, though I feel the days are heavy, I know they're real
Just like the fear I hear through our TV's so unclear
So unclear

CHORUS
