lyrics

21 years in a sheepskin suit
I clean it each day but the real still shines through
Would I hide in it each day if I’d nothing left to lose
stumble round the earth, sing this verse and hum the tune that
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I’m going

What if I don’t make it
What if no one knows my name
Lay my feelings out in song, and no one feels the same
*will you connect with me*, sing back to me
let me know you know
that like me you’re always searching and you never seem to grow
and we’ll sing
we don’t know where we’re going
we don’t know where we’re going

Don’t you know I love you
Don’t you know I care
I vow to walk beside you
The doubts you own, I share.

I’ve read it all before in a book with just one rule
love the king, love the cripple, love the whore, love the fool
and if you do IT!….. then you’ll be free
you’ll put down your politics and finally know relief
you’ll say I know where I’m going
I know where I’m going

Instead I want the power of the lion
and the love of the lamb
I want to be upon the screen, a put-on life of pretend friends
Why must I feel it as my birthright, a rope round my neck clings
pull my body to the butchers, I’m the beast I’m not the king
They’ll sing
oh oh take me where he’s going
and I’ll sing, oh oh oh, I didn’t know what I was hoping for.

We’ll turn the earth in this place
Clear the rocks from the space
Dig the dirt sink the spade
Tend the seeds day to day

As the roots dig down deep
The garden fills with the trees
We’ll prune the old for new leaves
Grow the orchard you need

Backs break, hands shake
Our legs ache under the weight
Cut back weeds, wind or rain
You’ll know we’ve come to say

We won’t go
We won’t go
We won’t leave this wasted world
till our weary work is whole
