"The Whale Song" lyrics

If you see what I see
I won't hurt you
I won't hurt you yet
People just like me
Lead by virtue
By the grace of God, oh

Dreams all I see
Wasted wishes
Wasted way of life
Foolish hopes and schemes
Fool the masses
But they don't fool me

Bent and broken
Bend their lies wide open
Like my eyes now
Blinded by the stars
Lost and lying
All alone I'm dying
Take me home, I cried
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
And so the whales sing
Up to the stars
Up to the stars

And so the whales sing
If you believe what I need
Is a purpose
Is a point in life
Your truth will feed my greed
And keep me happy
'Til I've done my time, oh
Until I've done my time
In your own hypocrisy
We lie choking in a broken world
As our planet heaves
And bleeds and dies
By virtue
By the grace of God, oh come on

Bent and broken
Bend their lies wide open
Like my eyes now
Blinded by the stars
Lost and lying
All alone I'm dying
Take me home, I cried
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
And so the whales sing
Up to the stars
Up to the stars
And so the whales

Dreams all I see
Wasted wishes
Wasted way of life
Foolish hopes and schemes
Fool the masses
But they don't fool me
Oh, they don't fool me
In your own hypocrisy
We lie choking in a broken world
As our planet heaves
And bleeds and dies
By virtue
By the grace of God

Bent and broken
Bend their lies wide open
Like my eyes now
Blinded by the stars
Lost and lying
All alone I'm dying
Take me home, I cried
Up to the stars

Bent and broken
Bend their lies wide open
Like my eyes now
Blinded by the stars
Lost and lying
All alone I'm dying
Take me home, I cried
Up to the stars
Up to the stars (yeah)
Up to the stars (yeah)
And so the whales sing, yeah (yeah)
Up to the stars (yeah)
Up to the stars (yeah)
And so the whales sing
