Lyrics We Sing in Time - The Lonely Forest

We Sing in Time

Let us pretend we’ve got it together
Let us ignore the coming sun
We’ll sing the body electric
Let us pretend we’ve got it together
Let us ignore the coming sun
We’ll sing the body electric
Until machine and soul are one
I’ve seen the tweaker struggle
Syringes lined his floor
A cycle churned to life
By dead end jobs and a government’s war
Oh, in time the trees die
And light will fade
But I hope for a new breath
A new life to take me away
One by one the monsters trample
Through woods and dirt they feed
What sort of world and plight
For our children must we lead?
Let us burn the nation’s budget
Let’s send boys overseas
To fight ghosts in the desert
Instead of teaching them to give and lead
Oh, in time the trees die
And light will fade
But I hope for a new breath
A new life to take me away
In time
We sing in time
