Letra
[Verse 1]
Steer your way
Past the ruins
Of the altar in the mall
Steer your way
Through the fables
Of creation and the fall
Steer your way
Past the palaces
That rise above the rot
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
[Verse 2]
Steer your heart
Past the truth that you believed in yesterday
Such as fundamental goodness
And the wisdom of the way
Steer your heart, precious heart
Past the women whom you bought
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
[Verse 3]
Steer your way
Through the pain
That is far more real than you
That smashed cosmic model
That blind the every view
And, please, don't make me go there
Though there be a God or not
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
[Verse 4]
There whisper still, the injured stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
And save the Mea Culpa which you probably forgot
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
[Verse 5]
Steer your way
Oh, my heart
Though I have no right to ask
To the one who was never, never equal
To the task who knows he's been convicted
Who knows he will be shot
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
[Verse 6]
They whisper still, the injured stones
The blunted mountains weep
As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make thing cheap
And say your Mea Culpa which you gradually forgot
Year by year, month by month
Day by day
Thought by thought
