Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. May 31, 2018]

I believe in wondrous things
I can hear the planets sing
And they glow in reds and blues
And they're mad at their abuse

(What can you do)
And we limp to the future
Bandaged and bleeding
Challenged by the need for sacrifice
Responsibility and such
But when you look at what we've got
Is it really that much?

Can't you see
It's running through your fingers
Running through your fingers
Just take your hands and stop it (running)
Running through your fingers

If I must, I'll spell it out
Who on Earth could harbour doubt
Can't you see that just one soul
Is a piece in the crucial whole

(What can you do)
I can't make a difference
Someone else will fix it
When simple acts of habit
Are all you need to change
Just rein in a little bit
Is that so hard to arrange

Can't you see
It's running through your fingers
Running through your fingers
Just take your hands and stop it (running)
Running through your fingers

Can't you see
It's running through your fingers
Running through your fingers
Just take your hands and stop it (running)
Running through your fingers

Can't you see
It's running through your fingers
Running through your fingers
Just take your hands and stop it (running)
Running through your fingers
