lyrics

Forever bloody waiting for the rain to keep away
The flow must keep creating to keep it real today
Today is like all others, there's only us to forge a link
But are we raving or are we drowning?
Are we thick or do we think?

Will we follow a path that those before have tread?
Will we reach the stars or will we stay in bed?
The things that we don't know are things we've yet to find
But are our eyes wide open or are we following blind?

Not drowning but raving, not raving but drowning
Not dying but living, not sinking but swimming
Not reaping but sowing, not hoping but knowing
Not drowning but raving, not raving but drowning

Will we go alone or will we make a team
Will we help each other or will we go unseen
We only have each other, all of us we are as one
And I'm forever waiting, waiting for a glimpse of sun

Not dying but living, not taking but giving
Not shrinking but growing, not slinking but glowing
Not weeping, not sighing, not creeping but flying
Not needing, not craving, not drowning but raving
