歌曲 | I Am the Ride |
歌手 | Chris Smither |
专辑 | Live As I'll Ever Be |
作词 : Smither | |
Forms are loosely fitting | |
Jury still are sitting | |
Sense of duty keeps us all in motion | |
Prison sirens wailing | |
That security is failing | |
Do not inspire a lifetime of devotion | |
No one will sympathize | |
No one really tries | |
They need a faith that leads them like a drum | |
And I can hear it pounding down among the ruins | |
Sad to say, I don't think I'm the only one. | |
I awoke and someone spoke | |
They asked me in a whisper | |
If all my dreams and visions had been answered | |
And I don't know what to say | |
I never even pray | |
I just feel the pulse of universal dancers | |
They'll waltz me till I die | |
They'll never tell me why | |
I never stop to ask them where we're going | |
Yes, but the holy, the profane | |
Are all helplessly insane | |
Wishful, hopeful, never even knowing. | |
And they asked if I believe | |
And do the angels really grieve | |
Or is it all a comforting invention? | |
It's just like gravity, I said | |
It's not a product of my head | |
It doesn't speak, but nonetheless commands attention | |
And I don't care what it means | |
Or who decorates the scenes | |
The problem is more with my sense of pride | |
Because it keeps me thinking "me" | |
Instead of what it is to be | |
I'm not a passenger, I am the ride | |
I'm not a passenger | |
I am the ride |
