lyrics

To Every Purpose Under Heaven

They say we’re in some kind of coma
they say that we don’t understand
they say they’re the representatives of the people
they say that we should wave their flag
they say man is mighty
they say life is long

but heaven knows I’ve tried
heaven knows I wake up trying
heaven knows I’ve tried to fit in
to every purpose under heaven

well the flood came down
many people died
there was a new world and a new dawn
though almost no-one was surprised

but heaven knows I’ve tried
heaven knows I wake up trying
heaven knows I’ve tried to fit in
to every purpose under heaven

they say we seek only materials
and we should joy in other things
but the truth is I am alive in all materials
and the lie is in the in the other things

but i know i know the secret
of the seagulls that pierce the sky
so unwelcome is the truth of man
that no-one here seems surprised
