The Woods

(album: Into The Woods - 1987)

I can see night in the day time
Into the woods I quietly go
It takes all the strength I have in me
These are the woods
The night of the soul

Painful to see
Love without action
It's painful to see years of neglect
Aching to see all that they see
Still telling lies to the remains of respect

Creatures we are worth defending
It takes the right word said from the heart
Given to you without ending
Given to you
The purpose of art

Thousands of plans, I've made many
I wonder just how many plans I have made
Feeling this mood overtake me
Finally to see
The truth as it fades

Out of these woods will you take me
Out of these woods, out of the storm
Oh, sinless child can you save me
Oh, guilty man
Freedom is yours
