The world is spinning round
leaving us behind
below and 'bove the ground
A thousand miles an hour
and we don't feel a thing
immune to all that power
Despite our best attempts
we never get ahead
ever short a couple steps
But if the chase should end
what would be the point?
what would we do then?
And all that we can really ever hope
is just to feel we're almost keeping up
I can't hear what's been said
I'm gonna walk outside
gonna try to clear my head
Distance helps the view
the further I can see
the less I feel confused
In my line of sight
I get a glimpse of where a stand
a sense of collective might
With all that momentum
we're really not alone
cause we're turning all in time
And all that we can really ever hope
is just to feel we're almost keeping up
and to have a little fun and a little luck
