The Dream Remained the Same
To Stay Alive
To keep living
They carried the blood
On their bodies
In their bodies
Carrying it forward
Carrying it forward . . .
Okay
Act one, scene one
Set the scene:
The grass was green
The sky was blue
You were a child
And the world was new
The moon controlled everything
And dogs could smell disease
You learned to live in a world with birds and bees
Dogs could smell disease
There you are
30 Thousand feet in the air
You want to take a picture of the wing
You want to sing to the wing
You want to take the wing
30 Thousand feet
30 Thousand feet
You can't think
But you remember that you felt safe
You think:
Why do I even try
In a world where the birds and the bees don't cry?
What do they know?
What do they see?
You were born...
You remember that
The world was new...
A million years passed by
A billion years
And from the rot
This is what came
And the dream remained the same
To keep living
They carried the blood
On their bodies
In their bodies
Carrying it forward
Carrying it forward
