Can't squeeze blood from a turnip
And hold my breath blue
I've waited and waited
And waited on you

You do what you want
I'll do what I can
I'm trying to keep faith
In my fellow man

I have harvested nothing
By turning to you
I try and I try
And I try as I do

I've buttered my fist
Trying to keep my own plan
Oh, the damage I've done
To my fellow man

Like a stone to the river
That cannot be washed to the sea
They keep building it up
'Til it's taken enough
And it breaks a scene
Yeah, we break a scene

Well, I know that you want it
I can see in your face
It's a desperate reaching
Trying to trace

What some call delusion
That I seen it first time
That's the whispers of hope
In my fellow man


Like a stone to the river

That cannot be washed to the sea

They keep building it up

'Till it's taken enough

And it breaks the scene

Can we break the scene?


Like a stone to the river

That cannot be washed to the sea

They keep building it up

'Til it's taken enough

And it breaks a scene

Can we break a scene?


In the breath of the morning

Where will you be?

Waiting and waiting

Please wait on me


I know it's not easy

And I'm sure it's not grand

When you're trying to keep faith

In your fellow man
