From the recording Still Moving
Lyrics
Now somewhere in the garden
Something went amiss
Now we’re paying the price
Even paying it twice
For something as stupid as this
What is darkness but an absence of light
What is weakness but an absence of might
I tried to ignore you
But now I implore you
to help us in our plight
Send down a flare
Show that you care
The signal’s erratic
Nothing but static
One never born can never grow old
So I’m told
Please answer my prayer
Now, everyone has problems
Some not so easy to fix
There’s a man in the tower
Who’s clinging to power
With an endless bag of tricks
Some say he’s gone crazy
But no one knows for sure
Instead of dropping bombs
He should be studying the psalms
It just might be the cure
Please answer our prayer
Send down a flare
Show that you care
The climate is tragic
Please show us your magic
One never born can never grow old
So I’m told
Please answer our prayer
Now sometime in the garden
We left it in disrepair
Now in the world’s darkest hour
Don’t need no nuclear shower
Please answer my prayer, Lord
Please answer our prayer
Send down a flare
Show that you care
The signal’s erratic
Nothing but static
Send down a flare
Show that you care
The climate is tragic
Show us your magic
I don't mean to be overly dramatic
But the world needs love
It needs your love RIGHT NOW
