burning timber

where is everybody goin'-always learnin' never knowin'

try and stop the world from turning

but it won't slow down

i was the one you gave your heart to

but after all what did it get you?

was it enough to put an end to

the risin' flames?

we stand like

burnin' timber-helpless among the cinders

i prayed for rain

when the sky was blue

what else could i do?

we need to work our way around it

and let it be the way we found it

the more that everything keeps changin'

the less we are gainin'

you build me up-you cut me down-you fight me tooth and nail

now hand in hand

we walk alone.along this blazing trail

we stand like

burnin' timber-we stand like

burnin' timber
