Lyrics

Should I close my eyes and prophesize Hoping maybe someday come? Should I wet the ground with my old tears Crying over what's been done? Should I lift the dirt and plant the seed Even though I've never grown? Should I wet the ground with the sweat from my brow And believe in my good work? My good work, my good work, my good work Hey there, I'm flying up above Looking down, on the tired earth But I can see I can see potential Speaking through you Speaking to you From all of heavens possibility Power, hey do you know how it work? Hey do you know that the meek They shall inherit the earth But you should work You should work Yeah for yourself and the family Should I hit the water or stay on dry land Even though I never swam? Take machete into the brush Though at first there is no plan Taste the warpaint on my tongue As it's dripping with my sweat Place my gaze in the futures path Seeing things that ain't come yet Hope to watch the victory dance After the days work is done Hope to watch the victory dance In the evening's setting sun Hope to watch the victory dance Over many lives to come Hope to watch the victory dance In the evening's setting sun Setting sun, setting sun, setting sun! Hope to dance the victory dance After the days work is done Hope to dance the victory dance In the evenings setting sun Hope to dance the victory dance Over many lives to come Hope to dance the victory dance In the evenings setting sun Setting sun!
