Past Life (Sinnerman's Song) Songtext
In a dream you found a way
Saw your chance to start again
No more living day by day
No more running from the rain
In a dream you found a way
In a dream you found a way
To survive
Dream another world
Saw your chance to start again
No more living day by day
No more running from the rain
In a dream you found a way
In a dream you found a way
To survive
Dream another world
Dream another life
Dream it all away
Dream it never ends dream
You must not sacrifice your children to Moloch
You must not sacrifice your children to the Worm
You must not allow yourself to be a passenger
In someone else's dreams
For you will live to see another land
And you will live to walk another road
You will live to drink from the well of human kindness
Drink, child, drink
And you will find a way
Everything will find a way
Everything will find a way
To survive
Lord! Fill me with your love I'll open myself up
But lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?
Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Dream another world child
Dream another life child
Dream a pair of wings
Dream you never wake up
And together the ants will conquer the elephant
Together man walking hand in hand will conquer the worm
Set fire to this cathedral of hatred
That we lust
At the top of the world
For you are an architectural model of an angel
Yes! You are Jesus Christ walking on the water
Dream another world
Dream another life
And you will find a way
Everything will find a way
Everything will find a way
To survive
Lord! Fill me with your love
I'll open myself up
But lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?
Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement
Lord!
I know you're gonna save me
Oh Lord!
I know you're gonna save my soul
I know you're gonna save me
Oh Lord!
You are an architectural model for something beyond yourself
You are not an angel
You are not infinite
Your feet will blister from the walk to the well of human kindness
You will wonder if you made the right choice
You will miss your bed
You will wonder if this was meant for you
This morning
Our cat walked into the kitchen
And dropped a worm at my feet
Its claws had ripped the small pink thing in two
Two worms, now racing each other
Back towards the garden door, and the mud
I kneeled down at the side of the small twitching things
And gathered them in my palms
I walked out into the garden
And lowered my hands to the wet earth
"Life is beautiful" I said
Life is very beautiful
Then I opened my hands
And the worm crawled out
And then–
I opened my eyes
Dream it all away
Dream it never ends dream
You must not sacrifice your children to Moloch
You must not sacrifice your children to the Worm
You must not allow yourself to be a passenger
In someone else's dreams
For you will live to see another land
And you will live to walk another road
You will live to drink from the well of human kindness
Drink, child, drink
And you will find a way
Everything will find a way
Everything will find a way
To survive
Lord! Fill me with your love I'll open myself up
But lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?
Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Dream another world child
Dream another life child
Dream a pair of wings
Dream you never wake up
And together the ants will conquer the elephant
Together man walking hand in hand will conquer the worm
Set fire to this cathedral of hatred
That we lust
At the top of the world
For you are an architectural model of an angel
Yes! You are Jesus Christ walking on the water
Dream another world
Dream another life
And you will find a way
Everything will find a way
Everything will find a way
To survive
Lord! Fill me with your love
I'll open myself up
But lord tell me why
Why you never just gave me a sign?
Tell me how to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement
Without judgement
Lord!
I know you're gonna save me
Oh Lord!
I know you're gonna save my soul
I know you're gonna save me
Oh Lord!
