Lyrics
On this plane of life a weary battle cry
Sounding every day, we struggle to get by
Crush our fellow man so we can get our place in line
Make believe we care as we step over every time
Look around for answers that we?re just too proud to face
Reaching for that state of grace
Seeking fortune, finding wretchedness instead
Offer up our souls for one more chance to make the grade
Spirits blackened daily in our trials and tribulations
As we live each moment high on strife and confrontation
Look around for answers that we?re just too proud to face
Pretend to be inside a state of grace
Oh my love, we need to carry on
One last battle waiting at the dawn
Reconcile our lives away, trying to face the challenge one more day
People round the world are living lives of desperation
We try to grow our Karma with some new-age meditation
Throw away the crystals, live the golden rule instead
Offer up a helping hand, not just a crust of bread
We can find the answers that we?re just too proud to face
Make our lives a state of grace
Oh my love, no need to carry on
No more battles waiting at the dawn
Live your life and make it count, love is what it takes to move a
mountain
