lyrics

We live in longing
And paint our dreams in colours of the day
Brighter than the lives we lead in sleepy shades of grey
With darkness gone
I know
We could be singing
Raise up our voices, lift upon the air
Rising to surprising heights, alight with solar flare
All longing gone
Below

Can you tell me why it’s so hard to say
That the poor must eat and the rich must pay?
What the hell is wrong with us today?

When the victors swim in the same small pools
And we never win but obey the rules
What the hell is wrong with us?, we’re fools

When the forests are aflame
We demand to stop the game
And begin again

When the oceans choke and the rivers dry
And the plumes of smoke stain the morning sky
What the hell is wrong with us, we cry

When the forests are aflame
And the lies are all the same
We demand to stop the game
And begin again
Start again
We must cast all of the parts again
And begin again
Start again

Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man
by Aaron Parks

supported by 4 fans who also own “Begin Again”

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething
