Music That Puts Everything Together - Lyrics - Jason Webley

One day the knife began to fall and as it dropped I heard it call Oh father, see how I have grown, the *** fruit of seed you've sown Lost my ***, saw my reflection, it was hard to see that face He said "Welcome home, brother, how have you been?" We're at the end of an era, no more sharpening our arrows No more praying we never hit the things that we are shooting at We've gone through the valley, we've borne our burden badly But lift up your ears and turn around, I think I can hear a sound The tune is sweet, the rhythm strong, the music that could bring us all together again One night I left my lady's side, I felt some change within the tide Pulled a blanket over me and set my little boat to sea I could feel the waves come and find the rhythm The ocean won't let you forget, the tide rolls out, but the tide will come back in We're at the end of an era, no more sharpening our arrows No more praying we never hit the things that we are shooting at We've left our lovers waiting, spent our juices *** Now I think it's time we start to build something that has a heart The air is growing thick with tones that just might bring these scattered bones together again One morning we woke up to find the chasm had become so wide Between us and our fathers, while we slept the space grew larger We could feel the shadow, we could hear the echo Of a song I know he used to sing, start to remember how it begins We're at the end of an era, no more sharpening our arrows No more praying we never hit the things that we are shooting at We've sent our vessels out to sea, tied our feathers to the tree Spent the winter on our knees, looking for these melodies The songs of a forgotten king who longs to hear his people sing together again
