Past Life (Sinnerman's Song)

In a dream you found a way Saw your chance to start again No more living day by day No more running from the rain In a dream you found a way In a dream you found a way To survive! Dream another world! Dream another life! Dream it all away! Dream it never ends - dream! You must not sacrifice your children to Moloch! You must not sacrifice your children to the Worm! You must not allow yourself to be a passenger In someone else's dreams! For you will live to see another land! And you will live to walk another road! You will live to drink from the well of human kindness! Drink, child, drink! And you will find a way! Everything will find a way! Everything will find a way - to survive! Lord! Fill me with your love I'll open myself up But lord tell me why Why you never just gave me a sign? Tell me how to keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith So dream another world child! Dream another life child Dream a pair of wings! Dream you never wake - up! And together the ants will conquer the elephant! Together man walking hand in hand will conquer the worm! Set fire to this cathedral of hatred! That we lust! At the top of the world! For you are an architectural model of an angel! Yes! You are Jesus Christ walking on the water! Dream another world! Dream another life! And you will find a way! Everything will find a way! Everything will find a way - to survive! Lord! Fill me with love I'll open myself up But lord tell me why Why you never just gave me a sign? Tell me how to keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Without judgement I'll keep my faith Without judgement Without judgement I'll keep my faith I'll keep my faith Lord! I know you're gonna save me - oh Lord! I know you're gonna save my soul! I know you're gonna save me - oh Lord! You are an architectural model for something beyond yourself You are not an angel You are not infinite Your feet will blister from the walk to the well of human kindness You will wonder if you made the right choice You will miss your bed You will wonder if this was meant for you This morning Our cat walked into the kitchen And dropped a worm at my feet Its claws had ripped the small pink thing in two Two worms, now racing each other Back towards the garden door, and the mud I kneeled down at the side of the small twitching things And gathered them in my palms I walked out into the garden And lowered my hands to the wet earth 'Life is beautiful' I said Life is very beautiful Then I opened my hands And the worm crawled out And then I opened my eyes
