Song Description

A song about how consumption and greed are leading humanity astray.

Lyrics

I took the time to wander
cast away the clothing shoes and pain
and allow myself to dance
through the garden's quenching rain.

I took the time to see through eyes that
made the world seem new
and like a child who in the woods does..
not conceive to build a zoo.

We are all just children
who've built up playpen walls
to hide away desires
making Jones's of us all
We are all just children
Who've wandered much too far
too far from what the truth is...
I see where we went wrong....
as I head back to Babylon.

I took the time for granted
my days were gloom and gray
so I escaped to solitude
to seek a better way

I took the time to find
the inner child at play
I found him laughing then took the time
to throw my watch away.

Now I return to Babylon
to cars and planes and noise
to pornographic tapestries
where grown men play with dangerous toys
where just like sheep we are led
into a life of lies
and blindly follow systems
stuck to paper just like flies
Whoaoaoaoaoa...

We are all just children
who've built up playpen walls
to hide away desires
making Jones's of us all
We are all just children
Who've wandered much too far
too far from what the truth is...
I see where we went wrong....
as I head back to Babylon.

Do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do
