I save life and kill time
I’m stirred, never shaken
And I wait for the bright ones
To fix the mistaken
But I lose voice every time my choice isn’t taken
Now your honor I’ll
Take the stand, raise my hand
I can say that I won’t stay any longer
Half asleep in the light of the place, this place
I’ll be ready for the storm
That’s my final answer
Take me there I have been warned
But a part of me Is leaving safety for the war
Or I might fade away
Back to a life half awake
You take time and make up your mind
You’ll defend it But what good are your strong arms never extended
You mean well but when you fail
To act on good intentions
You turn wisdom to a foolish man with a plan
I can say that I won’t stay any longer
Half asleep in the light of the place, this place
We’ve waited on the world
But it’s being changed by someone else
How can we stay asleep
I’ve got to be here and you’ve got be here too
