They placed that microphone into your hands and said
"The world is listening to you, my friend
What will you say to them? What will you say?
Share your wisdom, lead the way"
Tell us how you see, lend us your eyes
We are with you, my friend, for this moment in time
Every man that speaks, mother and young
With all our attention, open your lungs
He stared into the bricks, rattled his cans
Blue and silver in both his hands
What will you share with them?
What will you say?
Paint your vision, lead the way
Show us how you dream, lend us your sight
Those surrounded by fog are craving a light
Break the pattern, shatter the glass
Rise above your own body through your canvas
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Interesting song. Apparently, all of their songs start with Rule #. This is their 35th song.
Lyrics remind me of Human of the Year by Regina Spektor.
Also has vocal similarities to "I Am Kloot"
I really like this, especially the cello
like it
This was one of those times when I hear a song and desperately want to rate a song, but am no-where near a device, luckily a few days later, 8 bam!
Nick Drake is that you? (Day is Done)
Wow, some subtle power in this one.
