I watch the sun and long for the moon, Endure the night and crave the dawn. Their eyes were watching God, With their minds upon themselves. Angels newly fallen from heaven, Climbing onto a shelf as ornaments. We scream for progress in one breath, Then lament the past with the next. Give me your burden and your blame So I can pass it along to someone else. Give a man a fish to feed him for a day, Watch him steal one tomorrow morning. Go with the flow, take the easier road. Get what you want in the moment, but Never satisfied for longer than a heartbeat. Take no risks-life under an outcropping As wilder spirits dance in the rain.

Get what you want in the moment, but Never satisfied for longer than a heartbeat. Take no risks-life under an outcropping As wilder spirits dance in the rain.
