Lyrics

A modern-day warrior, a mean, mean stride Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride Though his mind is not for rent Don't put him down as arrogant His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the days of end The river (Higher, higher) What you say about his company is what you say about society Catch the mist, catch the myth Catch the mystery, catch the gist The world is, the world is, love and light are deep Maybe as his skies are wide Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you And the space he invades, he gets by on you [Instrumental Break] No, his mind is not for him To any god or government Always hopeful, yet discontent He knows changes are permanent But change is But change is The world is, the world is, love and light are deep Maybe as his skies are wide
