BEEN HERE TOO LONG

The world goes round blue likes green
like it’s always been
The rich man thrives and the poor man dies
The watchman of justice is bleeding from the eyes
We subscribe to hope but they send us doubt
As meaning now goes walking on by

Truth sleeps around grace loses ground
the voice of love leaves you without a sound
we burn the water to pour the fire
yeah but the loss leaks down to yr soul

Looking out at this lost place
I think we been here a little long
Yeah looking out at this lost place
I think we been here a little long

I know that you wanted it to be
A little better this time
I know I know that you wanted to see
a little different this time
but it’s not and I, 
I can’t change, I can’t change that
I can't change that

We claim the part, we lose the whole
Yeah but you feel it right down in your soul
We burn the water and we pour the fire
Yeah but the loss leaks down into yr soul

Looking out at this lost place
I think we been here a little long
Yeah looking out at this lost place
I think we been here a little long
