There’s a line, there’s a dozen more Wrapping in a room, your country doors There’s a man, he’s holding a pitcher of water Follow him into the house
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again You will never get up as close as you expect This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
And when they say Oh yes, please don’t keep on going on and on [x4] The biggest lie we tell ourselves We’re already in hell Blood shines upon us, it maces and covers Blood shines upon us, it maces and covers
There’s a man that pours Throughout the floor and door There’s a light and there’s a dozen more Nothing in the country doors
Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again (This is the last time this will happen) You are will get up as close as you expect This house is a holy place, you don’t ever have to leave (This is the last time this will happen) Every age has said, we will come, we’ll come again
We are taught to think of our success in terms of numbers If touching one persons life is a good thing, then touching one thousands people lives must be a great thing, It’s easy to see where we learned to think this way Our whole society revolves around mass production The more units we can move The more customers we can serve The more boats we can get The more money and the more stuff we have, the better, right? Maybe it’s not possible to touch one thousand peoples thinking, or as powerfully as one person. Maybe it’s not really so revolutionary after all, to have one person out of a group of twenty, tell everybody else what’s right. Wouldn’t it be better if we tried a decentralized approach where everyone works closely with those around them, instead of a few people waiting in anonymous mass? Do you have to save the world all by yourself, why don’t you trust someone else to do it with you?
