TUMBLE DOWN WORLD lyrics by t dean

EVER SINCE I WAS A YOUTH
I KNEW I WASN’T GETTING ALL THE TRUTH
FROM TEACHER, MOM AND DAD,
AND ALL THE FACES ON THE TV SCREEN
AND VOICES ON THE RADIO
AND EVEN ALL THE TINY WORDS
IN BLACK INK ON THE PAPER PAGE
WERE HARD TO SIFT FOR MEANING
OH YEAH

SO EVERY MORNING WHEN I WAKE
I TRY TO LIVE FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE
AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE INSIDE
THAT SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO SEEK TO LIVE
IN PEACE OF MIND AND HEART
AND WORK TO HEAL THE ACHING PLANET OF OUR BIRTH
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH IS WAY BEYOND THE SCOPE
OF TINY MINDS THAT GAZE UPON THE SHINY SCREENS
AND SLEEP A WALKING DEATH
WITH EVERY SINGLE BREATH OF DIRT
THAT THEY SUCK UP
IN THIS TUMBLE DOWN WORLD
OH YEAH

IT’S SUCH A TUMBLE DOWN WORLD

SO YOU NEED SOME ONE TO TALK TO
AND RELATE THE DARKEST SECRETS OF YOUR SOUL
AND SO YOU QUESTION ME
WITH EYES THAT TRY TO PENETRATE
THE WALLS OF FEAR THAT HIDE THE DEPTHS
OF SORROW BURIED HERE
THEN WE REACH OUT FOR EACH OTHER
JUST TO TRY TO KEEP FROM FALLING
IN THIS TUMBLE DOWN WORLD
OH, GIVE IT TO ME GIRL

IT’S SUCH A TUMBLE DOWN WORLD

SO HAND IN HAND TOGETHER
WE’LL GO SEARCHING FOR OUR SUNRISE
AND AS THE WORLD FALLS DOWN AROUND US
ALL OUR LOVE WILL RISE ABOVE
THE FEAR RIGHT HERE
IN THIS TUMBLE DOWN WORLD

COME ON, COME ON, WE CAN MAKE IT
COME ON, SHAKE IT OFF
KEEP IT TOGETHER IN THIS TUMBLE DOWN WORLD
