Lead The Way

(album: Anthem - 2022)

I was seven days cold sober when the elephant appeared
He came crashing through the walls that I just built
When a cast of drunken sailors run amok to make it clear
I was nowhere better off than I began

It takes more than guts to be a bigger man

Singing you myself have nothing more
You have nothing more to say
Your voice no longer resonates
Your soul forever sleeps
No reasons left to clarify
Your words forgotten speech
So come aboard and join the other
Ghosts you'll end up being

Down came Moses with his Ten Commandments roud as punch could be
With some commands built of stone for all to read
But we didn't really understand the message that was fierce
So we drank another lifetime through the tears

I saw that they thought we'd always live in fear

Singing you myself have nothing more
You have nothing more to say
Your voice no longer resonates
Your soul forever sleeps
No reasons left to clarify
Your words forgotten speech
So come aboard and join the other
Ghosts you'll end up being

Sing it loud, sing it now
Sing out what you are you've found
There's no writing on the wall for all to see
Don't take a bow to the crowd
There's no reason to be proud
Don't take away this beauty we all need

So lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way

Ah, you myself have nothing more
You've nothing to say
Your voice no longer resonates
Your soul forever sleeps
No reasons left to terrify
Your words forgotten speech
So come aboard and join the other
Ghosts you'll end up being

Sing it loud, sing it now
Sing out what you are you've found
There's no writing on the wall for all to see
Don't take a bow to the crowd
There's no reason to be proud
Don't take away this beauty we all need

Oh, yeah lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Said, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
Yeah, lead the way
I said lead the way
