March On

Human Drama


I'm slipping back into my shell 
Never thought about it either way 
It should be gone by now 
But I guess it never left 

Like a novel whose last page I read first 
I'm somewhere in the middle now 
Denying how 
It all turns out 

March on 
All you poor souls 
March on 
All you scared sinners 
March on 
I walk beside you 

Oh the days they pass so slowly now 
When you've seen the sum of their worth 
I remember when 
They moved too fast for me 

On the reins, my hands would stay 
Now I have just let them go 
Yet still 
They are still 

March on... 

It's true I walk beside you now 
Tomorrow's fear keeps love from hands 
I've written of chains hoping it would 
Break me free 
But it didn't, it will be no different this time 

March on... 

We reap what we sow 
But look at what we've been given 
It's truly impossible 
To build from nothing at all
