Subject: RE: BS: Lest We Forget: History to Remember
Haven't found these lyrics anywhere on Mudcat (or anywhere on the Web at all, in fact) so I might as well post `em here. One of my favourites, I like Keelo's songwriting a LOT. Big ideas and big words.
I don't know but I've been told This world was shaped from unformed matter Back when Chaos reigned supreme You and I were widely scattered Something coalesced from the universe's void Nothing was created; no, nothing was destroyed All you see around you is just something else reformed This steady state of matter is said to be the norm
But wait for a turn of the wheel Wait for a turn of the wheel
Reform and revolution are almost the same The heart aflame, the vital spark The engine that propels the state The voice that speaks out of the dark Martin Luther wrote a paper; he nailed it to the door Rosa Parks took her seat; she couldn't take it any more Galileo set the sun at the centre of the stage The things we never challenge are the things that never change
But wait for a turn of the wheel Wait for a turn of the wheel
Now I know it seems crazy, it's a paradox Change is constant; never ending Sometimes effects outweigh the cause The jury's out and the judgement's pending Maybe things are different from what you though you saw It isn't quite an axiom; it isn't quite a law Fortunes often rise and often they fall Somehow there will be a balance in it all
But wait for a turn of the wheel Wait for a turn of the wheel
