Lyrics The Distance - Laurence Fox

The Distance

They have put something in the water
They seek a cure for the conversation
They stole a march on your indecision
And the first to fall is laughter
Just to quell the long offended
They seek to murder your opinion
The light has been turned down on the age of reason
Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
So I need you more than ever
Need your hands in this resistance
If we’re going to go the distance
And if I ever doubt it
I think about my future
And if i want to live there
The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason
And if you can’t decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
It can be hard to know what feeling
What with all the lies that you’re reading
If it’s hard to say, you may mean it
Don’t be lost thinking about tomorrow
When today is what you are living
Make today your new beginning
The light has been turned down on the age of reason
Replaced by blinding fires that burn wild across the region
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
So I need you more than ever
Need your hands in this resistance
If we’re going to go the distance
And if I ever doubt it
I think about my future
And if i want to live there
The world outside is wondrous wide for a reason
And if you can’t decide, you must blow your own mind for that reason
For the wrong to rule
The good must just stand idly by
