Dar Williams The Green World Playing To The Firmament There are kids, lots of kids, who put the law inside a circle As they jump, I hope that you will up and down, up and down When did you cave into this role that you were cast in When did dress-up turn to fashion, throw your gown up and down There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying For all that you are saying And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying Til we are only playing to the firmament Til we are only playing to the firmament In the rain, in the rain, people rush around on cold streets Here's a shell to hear their heartbeats very loud, very loud Where's the pain, it's only rain, it's only slowing down a work day Only singing happy birthday to a crowd, very loud So turn on the sky, let it hear what you're saying For all that you are saying And let it take you apart, to the elements of praying Til we are only playing to the firmament Til we are only playing to the firmament And when did sex get so mean, when did crime get so clean You know I just can't seem to find the soul in this striving Why not play to a dream, cause the world is too green For all this bad driving What's the rush, dip your brush into this twilight There are leaves upon the skylight, trace your hand, trace your hand Mr. Ed, he shot ahead, he shot ahead inside a circle On a bad day, who would you kill, take a stand, trace your hand There's always the sky, let it hear what you're saying For all that you are saying Let it take you apart to the elements of praying Til we are only playing to the firmament Til we are only playing to the firmament . . . . . . fade . . . |
