The Fuse 가사

It's coming from so far away It's hard to say for sure Whether what I hear is music or the wind Through an open door There's a fire high in the empty sky Where the sound meets the shore There's a long distance loneliness Rolling out over the desert floor And the years that I spent lost in the mystery Fall away leaving only the sound of the drum Like a part of me It speaks to the heart of me Forget what life used to be You are what you choose to be It's whatever it is you see That life will become Whatever it is you might think you have You have nothing to lose Through every dead and living thing Time runs like a fuse And the fuse is burning And the earth is turning Though the years give way to uncertainty And the fear of living for nothing strangles the will There's a part of me That speaks to the heart of me Though sometimes it's hard to see It's never far from me Alive in eternity That nothing can kill Oh Lord Are there really people starving still? Look out beyond the walls of Babylon How long will their needs go unfilled I want to say right now I'm going to be around I'm going to be around When the walls and towers are crumbling When the towers are tumbling down And I will tune my spirit to the gentle sound I want to hear the sound Of the waters lapping on a higher ground Of the children laughing
