But If You Don't Stand Up You Stand A Change Lyrics

Genesis But If You Don't Stand Up You Stand A Change

Go a little faster now, you might get there in time

Mirror, mirror on the wall
His heart was broken long before he ever came to you
Stop your tears from falling
The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night
all to see at night

In season, out of season
What's the difference when you don't know the reason
In one hand bread, the other a stone
The Hunter enters the forest
All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman's horn
By the look of this one you've not got much to fear

Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening
Come to match my skill to yours
Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now
I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you
Making noises my little furry friend would make
I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack
You better watch out ... you better watch out

I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away

Walking home that night
The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder
When suddenly it stopped
I opened up the sack, all that I had
A pool of bubbles and tears - JUST A POOL OF TEARS

All in all you are a very dying race
Racing trust upon a cruel world
You never had the things you thought you should have had
And you'll not get them now
And all the while in perfect time
Your tears are falling on the ground
