Lyrics: Aiden David Hadfield
Music: Xavier Herment
I'm not waiting for this life to make sense
I know it's about action, but it seems we need some cash to spend
It's bound to end, I can't wait forever
But I want to sleep sound in my bed
Be proud and be fed - I don’t even need to be loud to be heard
All I’ve got on this god-forsaken earth are my nut and my word
Page, scribe, cage, lies they try to hide
For life I’ve tried - I write and cry confide
I show the cage they try to use as a hoax
Folks in palms of hands - big dreams and high hopes
If you can swim you can drown, if you can fly you can fall, nah!
Jump you fly, float you swim
I might be slow on the gun, but I’m fast on the uptake
Ready to laugh last, best stand tests and not break
I need to do something to help this world
All talk and no action is a concept too absurd for words
Bring my word
Figure out this universe
Fly higher, yo, we fly higher
Free as a bird and I turn this earth
Yo we turn the universe
And as the world turns I'm just doing my thing
Do it, do it, you know how we do
As long as duppy spirits burn I continue to sing
Yah yah, yes yo
Is it me, or has this planet gone blind?
It's like everybody else is in a zoned time
Painted faces and mimicking mimes, fidgeting spines
So fake it seems to live in these times
Forsaking kings and queens, adultery behind
Every name of every person presented partially blind
I said it's hard to rewind and forget every time
We were emotionally scarred and scared - tried to hide the truth
'Cause we never realise its value
Then we get lost and so confused, something we never plan to do
Then on ways ways out, on missions for clues
Conditioned to lose, steps from being a lonely recluse
Stand up! Figure it! Where’s where? What's what? Who's who?
Whose zoo are we in? Whose kingdom are we building?
Is this yours or somebody else's life that you're living?
Soul, stop killing your soul
Spot killing your god damn soul!
Bring my word
Figure out this universe
Fly free as a bird
And I turn this earth
As the world turns
I’m just doing my thing
As long as duppy spirits burn
I continue to sing
I said I
Bring my word
Figure out this universe
Fly free as a bird
And I turn this earth
As the world turns
I’m just doing my thing
As long as duppy spirits burn
I continue to sing
I said I
Bring my word
Figure out this universe fly, yah
Yo, you know we flying higher
Free as a bird and I turn this earth
Free, and we turn the universe
And as the world turns I'm just doing my thing
Ugh, check it, you know how we do it
As long as duppy spirits burn I continue to sing
Sing that song yo!
