Take Control (feat. Anne Clark)

Way, way up in the Anthropocene

The trees burst into a stained-glass screen

Beyond all gods, beyond all else

We search for what's missing inside ourselves

As all of our possessions take control

Of the aching empty space inside our soul

I climb high up through the canopy

To the soaring roaring life with its intensity

It's is companion, teacher, cathedral, priest

It is everything that I need

Something unlearned in the human rush

Still has a place in the core of us

Take control

Take control

Inside our soul

The human rush

Inside our soul

There is hatred, there is pain, there is bigotry

There are those who try to steal human dignity

The strength to love or the path to war

Which one of these will you be fighting for?

The more they have, the more they take

The first and final great mistake

To the ends of the earth and back again

The human race leaves a human stain

We must shake off our complacency

Live a life that's filled with urgency

To the beauty, to the wonder of it all

Don't bow your head, don't break, don't fall

Take control

Take control

Inside our soul

Don't bow your head, don't break, don't fall

Don't bow your head, don't break, don't fall

Human rush

Inside our soul
