Hunting the Heart - track 5
Words & Music - Pete Morton
| Sometimes we close
our minds, shut the windows, draw the blinds Take away some power from the soul And with our loyalty and pride, soon we shun the other side And all we do is dig ourselves a hole |
Some say she is this,
some say she is that But you know as good as me it's all changing like the wind We're ever flowing streams, from the mountains to the seas And when the banners fall then the loving begins |
| Soon we're labelled
by our clothes, labelled by our tongue Labelled by the rumours they've heard Labelled by our name, our Country and it's shame Labelled by the written word |
And some may say
they're better, ignore the changing weather The prejudices and vanities of old must fall, 'Cause when all the talking's done, everything is one We must work together for us all |
|
|
| Each individual past,
hid behind a mask Has a knowledge and a glory of a truth But defence is on alert, negativity and hurt Costing more than an eye or a tooth |
So be fair upon yourself,
with your screen or book filled shelf In this age of clever speed and sound It's never been this way, it feels like it's information day In a world just getting its feet off the ground |
| And these man made
sufferings, and all these evil things Leave us in this state of deep unrest But there's glimpses of delight, I know you can recite They're stokin' up the hope deep in your breast |
