Lyrics
Are we paying attention or are we drifting? Too much negative action, not enough positive reaction What's the state of humanity Where's the peace and the harmony Free the signal, your inner voice Time to transcend, block out the noise Signal to noise becomes the answer The world keeps turning as we latch on to the wheel Have you heard the news? A surging sea of circumstance Pain, starvation, war, abuse Sterile gloves hide dirty hands Shocking truth, climate change Floods and fires, hurricanes Overdose, suicide Innocent die Fear and race, endless lies Sex and faith, terrorize Drugs and guns taking lives Innocent die Signal to noise becomes the answer The world keeps turning as we latch on to the wheel Signal to noise defines the reason The world keeps turning as we latch on to the wheel Our wounds begin to heal Signal to noise becomes the answer The world keeps turning as we latch on to the wheel Signal to noise defines the reason The world keeps turning as we latch on to the wheel Our wounds begin to heal The chatter disappears and the message is revealed
