Lyrics
On your knees, Beat your breast
Let the rain wash away the last of your scruples
And change your idea of what might be truthful
You want to discover that freedom is fruitful
You’re in love, It could mend
How to fill up your cup without being hurtful
And live for the day by seizing the nettle
To fill up your senses and still remain faithful
The World is on your shoulders…..
When you were made for light
Draw a breath, Smell the turf
Touch the green of the grass that couldn’t be greener
The sting of the sky that couldn’t be cleaner
Rejoicing that nothing can come in between ya
The World is on your shoulders
When you were made for light
Release the guilt and obsession
Keep hold of Sight
One more time, To the fire
Live your life by the rules be free to invent them
Creating a life and feeling the tension
Oh treading so softly to softly to mention
Sting of the sky……Keep hold of sight (etc.)
