Quicksand --- Song Lyric
--- Link to recorded song https://bit.ly/37Mymim
Verse 1:
It hasn't been an easy life,
I've been through the mill,
ground to a fine grey powder
blown from a sill.
Verse 2:
But my spirit keeps on growin'
Though my flesh is dust;
the gold keeps right on glowin'
while the iron turns to rust.
Verse 3:
And if there’s a lesson
To learn from the things I've done,
some kind of distillation,
this would be the one...
Chorus:
If you don't integrate
what you say with what you do
the Quicksand you create
is gonna swallow you
Quicksand gonna swallow you
Quicksand gonna swallow you
Quicksand gonna swallow you
Quicksand gonna swallow you
Chorus 1 extension:
Quicksand
Don’t be makin’ no quicksand
Don’t be makin’ no quicksand,
Don’t be makin’ no quicksand
No, no, no
Bridge:
But the truth has many faces
We’ve not see them all;
we've gotta make our choices
maybe take a fall.
What might be right for you
may not be right for me
but somewhere down the line
I think that we will both agree...
(Chorus)
