Allrise - Quicksand

Earthy morning

Second dawning

Moving picture waking me

I'm never yawning

Perfect timing

Heaven climbing

Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming

City falling

Family calling

Got an orphan in my arms

A baby bawling

What's it provin, still it's movin

Picture shaking me



It's all too often nowadays

One giant coffin

Power plays make waves

In the quicksand

This land is my land

Man against man, we stand



My brother woke me up this morning

Turned on the T.V. screen

And made it all too clear

Now that a different day is dawning

I've started out my day with fear

For the second time this year



It's all too often nowadays

One giant coffin

Power plays make waves

In the quicksand

This land is my land

Man against man, we stand



Earthy morning

Second dawning

Moving picture waking me

I'm never yawning

Perfect timing

Heaven climbing

Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming

City falling

Family calling

Look at me I'm a grown man bawling

What's it proving

Still it's moving

Picture shaking me



It's all too often nowadays

One giant coffin

Power plays make waves

In the quicksand

This land is my land

Man against man, we stand



For the second time this year
