LYRICS:
dancing on the crumbling precipice
the rocks are coming loose just at the edge
are we laughing?
are we crying?
are we drowning?
are we dead?

or is it all a dream?

the bombs are getting closer everyday
“that could never happen here” we used to say
have these wars come
to our doorstep?
has this moment
finally come?

or is it all a dream?

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
is the violence in our nature
just the image of our maker?

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
to become something greater
than the violence in our nature

are we not good enough?
or is it all a dream?

to a predetermined fate are we condemned?
or maybe we’re a book without an end?
we’re not stories
we’re not actors
we’re awake
and in control

and this is not a dream

so can we
break this mold
and set in motion something new?
forgetting
what we know
an evolution overdue

fight the current
pull the ripcord
get away

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
is the violence in our nature
just the image of our maker?

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
to become something greater
than the violence in our nature

are we not good enough?

well-trodden paths are all we take
we need a storm, let's pray for rain now
to wash these roads away

let’s get off track and wander far
same roads lead to same destinations
follow nothing but your heart

we’re talking in our sleep
and sleeping through our lives
we dream of the places
where we never die
we step from the shadows
and into the light

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
is the violence in our nature
just the image of our maker?

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
to become something greater
than the violence in our nature

are we not good enough?
are we not brave enough?
are we not good enough?

or was it all dream…
