Never All the Times

There once was peace, so it's been said
A common needle and common thread
A world within control where only tears of joy did fall
And the blade only swung to cut the grain
Yeah, the blade only swung to cut the grain

For centuries, we carried the tune
Brave in the dark by way of the moon
Some just couldn't make sense of it all
Buried the beat and got lost in the song
And nothing's been the same ever since
Since glory hallelujah providence

We're all in the lost and found
With our feet planted on it upside-down
Burnin' hot with a stationary coal
Wholesome lies with wholesome truths
But the whole picture is lost on you
Can't you see the stars aligned askew?
Purified obscenities, dissonance and harmony
Never going nowhere all the time

Should we take it as an omen or a sign of the times?
Are we gainin' any ground or are we just losin' our minds?
Alone together on a pale blue ball
If we gamble everything, do we lose it all?
Well, the answers are like crashing waves to me
Always sweepin' in to shore and movin' back out to sea

We're all in the lost and found
With our feet planted on it upside-down
Burnin' hot with a stationary coal
Wholesome lies with wholesome truths
But the whole picture is lost on you
Can't you see the stars aligned askew?
Purified obscenities, dissonance and harmony
Never going nowhere all the time

If I were to take a man from the future
Assuming were still here in a hundred years
And sit him down and ask him how we are faring
I think I know exactly what he'd say

We're all in the lost and found
With our feet planted on the upside-down
Burnin' hot with a stationary coal
We're all in the lost and found
With our feet planted on it upside-down
Burnin' hot with a stationary coal
Holy lies with wholesome truths
But the whole picture, it is lost on you
Can't you see the stars aligned askew?
Purified obscenities, dissonance and harmony
Never going nowhere all the time
