Owen Young - Voices In The Dust Lyrics

Another morning come again
Thunder rolling through your head
Light splits the blind saying get up and show
The dark in your mind says stay in bed
Out in the backstreets and alleyways
Your world is spoiling for a fight
Some you might win some you'll lose
Still you'll still believe that might ain't the same thing as right
You gave it all you had
You couldn't always hide the pain
But I know when you hear a battle song
You'll start in all over again
Shining illusions of your childhood
Have long since turned into rust
While others have chased all the things they want
You've lived to do what you must
You heard the songs coming from the forest
The voices in the dust
Calling out for freedom
Calling for what's just
Seven lives of hope lie ahead on this road
Seven lives of trust lie behind
Locked in between on this uncertain way
We do our best with what we find
Between the earth and sky
At the horizons of our minds
We met the ghosts of the old ones there
They chose you by ancient design
I can't remember all that they said
In the years I've let it slip away
But they called you the future
They called you the past
Tomorrow in yesterday
So here's to you my trusted friend
Let's take this moment as a sign
Strength of mind and winds of change
May they help you in your race against time
If you should ever pass this way again
If you should find the time to stay
You could tell me the stories from the road
And tell me what the old ones say
In the songs coming from the forest
The voices in the dust
Calling out for freedom
Calling for what's just
