Dan Colbert - Tumble & Run Lyrics

There's a hungry hawk, circling high in the sky
The young mother rushes when she hears her baby cry
Tumble and run, tumble and run

The candidate stokes the flames of fear and hate
Saying those others are not our brothers, how long must we wait
Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

The pensioner sits in a diaper at the slot machine
Hour after hour, what does it mean
Tumble and run, tumble and run

Buying and collecting all the stuff we don't need
Do you ever ask yourself, what does it mean
Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run
Yeah, we'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

We're built for a world, made long, long ago
How can we see, how to let it go

We ask ourselves the wrong questions all the time
Then we wonder why, the answer doesn't rhyme
Tumble and run, tumble and run

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in a flower
Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run
Yeah, we'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run
Meanwhile, turn the lamp around, shine it like the sun
Now shine it all over, on each and every one
