from "Further Up, Further In"

lyrics

You're not the only one who finds this life hard
The vision of perfection still so far away
The stories your mum told you
When you were young
And by your bed the songs she sang
Told of a child under a guiding star

We still hope to find our place
Far away from the toil and waste

There's a piece of land that's going cheap
The ferry only comes once a week
The hills roll on till they reach the sea
That's the only place where we can be

You can keep searching here for solace
But you need a place where you can finally rest

Sometimes it feels like the weight of a thousand years
All the people who learned to restrain their tears
Still we're hoping to find the right way
To say to each other the things that we mean to say
We wander dazed through long grey halls
Before the flood, but after the fall

We still hope to change this place
And make our lives more than toil and waste
