Chicken Soup

Flashing out a signal

From a survival mirror

Up to the heavens

Trying to peak the interest

Of any passing pilot

But I’m rolling sevens

Our hands intertwine

Reflecting sunshine

’Cause we both know

Sometimes you need a common goal

But if desperate measures

Can help bring us together

Then it’s cosmic chicken soup for the soul

The Earth’s greatest thinkers

And proficient tinkerers

Sit on the board

They pour out their wisdom

Into the deafening silence

But they’re still ignored

And we all lean over

A human house of cards

’Cause we both know

Sometimes you need a common goal

If standing on your shoulders

Can help bring us together

Then it’s cosmic chicken soup for the soul

Breathing, searching, failing, dreaming

We need to share what we have learned

From the place we crashed and burned

Tapping out a code through the orange smoke

To save our ship

Will you come and take us home?

Laying on a hammock

Made from parachute remnants

Staring at the stars

A silent wind will rock me

Like a newborn baby

Till I forget these scars

Back home we’re divided

With their forced confusion

’Cause if we saw eye to eye

They’d never reach their goals

But if desperate measures

Can help bring us together

Then it’s cosmic chicken soup for the soul

Breathing, searching, failing, dreaming

We need to share what we have learned

From the place we crashed and burned

Tapping out a code through the orange smoke

To save our ship

Will you come and take us home?
