lyrics
You shake your fist at the waiting list
And still insist this big cruel world has passed you by
Sand moves fast through the hour glass and still another hour passes
You still just sit there gettin high
And your soul is thin cause everyday’s so long
And you hide inside the thought of what went wrong
Like Sisyphus will push another boulder up that hill
They’ve broken your will
But you thought that it was fine
Thought you were still in line
But your killing all your time
yeah you are killing all your time
Ship got hit sinkin not to be saved
But everybody sat in place while the band still played
Now we’re surrounded by waves and it’s up to our ears
Cause it drowns your motivation, amplifies your fears
They all died at twenty seven full of drugs insane
So i made a conscious change to make my role models change
Gandhi Dali Lama Mother T and Dr. King
Doesn’t matter what religion they all say the same thing
You gotta be the change you wanna see in the world
I know it sounds strange cause i’m the first to complain
about this world full of depression and these people in pain
But it doesn’t do much to sit around and bitch
If you wanna activate you gotta throw the switch
They all died at twenty seven full of drugs insane
So i made a conscious change to make my role models change
Gandhi Dali Lama Mother T and Dr. King
Doesn’t matter what religion they all say the same thing
You gotta be the change you wanna see in the world
And still insist this big cruel world has passed you by
Sand moves fast through the hour glass and still another hour passes
You still just sit there gettin high
And your soul is thin cause everyday’s so long
And you hide inside the thought of what went wrong
Like Sisyphus will push another boulder up that hill
They’ve broken your will
But you thought that it was fine
Thought you were still in line
But your killing all your time
yeah you are killing all your time
Ship got hit sinkin not to be saved
But everybody sat in place while the band still played
Now we’re surrounded by waves and it’s up to our ears
Cause it drowns your motivation, amplifies your fears
They all died at twenty seven full of drugs insane
So i made a conscious change to make my role models change
Gandhi Dali Lama Mother T and Dr. King
Doesn’t matter what religion they all say the same thing
You gotta be the change you wanna see in the world
I know it sounds strange cause i’m the first to complain
about this world full of depression and these people in pain
But it doesn’t do much to sit around and bitch
If you wanna activate you gotta throw the switch
They all died at twenty seven full of drugs insane
So i made a conscious change to make my role models change
Gandhi Dali Lama Mother T and Dr. King
Doesn’t matter what religion they all say the same thing
You gotta be the change you wanna see in the world

In Between Another Blink
by Satsangsupported by 6 fans who also own “Be the Change”
This album is beautiful! Love the new sounds mixed with the old renditions. The swingy piano with the guitar gives me this awesome folk country soul feel and really hits home. Satsang hooks are always the catchiest. Keep it coming!
