You open your eyes, look around You feel the earth, it wanders - Out, from under your feet - the ground Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin under the touch, cannot stop to falter Now, the damage is done, the certainties gone The spirit's altered And now the angry morning Gives the early signs of warning You must face alone, the plans you make Decisions they will try to break Our hands are tied on the table Maybe you can try at the back door man While the helpless line up on the doorsteps 'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through All of your life you've lived in a world as pure As eden's sixth day - now, all you've been allowed
