Passing us by
Lyrics by R. G. Theil , 25 October 2001

Watching
Watching the news of the world
Headlines, bringing it close to the core
No time for understanding
The lives now on parade
Just moments and glimpses
Passing us by

Stumbling
Stumbling through fiction and myth
Crossed lines
Senses ensnared in every sense
No time to feel deep pulses
In those with whom we share
Those moments and glimpses
Passing us by (x3)

Drowning
Drowning in rhetoric's chains
Skylines
Veiled in the polarising claims
No time to dwell with passion
On naked human plains
No time to dwell upon the remains
Passing us by (x4)
