lyrics

We made so much fairy dust
So excited I could bust
Lifted our hands up to the sky
Manna from heaven saw with my own eye
The road is bumpy, the trek is rough
Believed in magic it was not enough
So we scattered into the wind
Felt so shattered but it's not the end

A miracle is what we need
To loosen the grip of this endless greed
A miracle that we create
With our love that trumps hate

Gathered together like a small city
Standing in line where we chose to be
Sending nickels sending dimes
Hearts overflowing till we lost our mind
A new messiah to save the day
But now I feel like we've been led astray
Now we're wandering in the wilderness
Needing more but getting less

Like a religion with the guilt and shame
Felt like a zealot that had gone insane
A missionary that was me
Had all the answers that could set you free
Now I'm quiet, not much to say
Cross my fingers and pretend to pray
I've got my shovel, I got my spade
Planting tomorrow while there's still shade
