Return to Us

Lyrics

If a song can change a theatre A song can change a town And if a song can change a city Pick you up not put you down Then a song can change a country And then try to change the world The rocking horses soon will ride A rocket ship with us inside Will take us to our hidden pride And purpose Return to us We're right where you left us Return to us We're singing the same songs Return to us We won't ask you where you've been Cause we've all made mistakes before And now you're here we'll make some more If you don't know where you're going I will be your guide And when you can go no further I'll be by your side You are sister to the moon that shines And sister to the tide It's never on the evening news When Susan Sontag sings the blues Free thinking or expensive shoes It's your call Return to us This time we'll make a difference Return to us Cause we don't have much time Return to us Admit the seas are rising It's not our country anymore Get ready for a civil war Where once were rights they change the law The fights we won are won no more Silence will fall there is no doubt It's treason if you think to shout Welcome to the blackout If I'm with her and you're with me Let's make a human chain The bigots and the racists Always claim they'll rise again But if the universe is infinite They're a little ______ stain If disco sucks then so does rock And Frank O'Hara's in the dock Let's stop them turning back the clock Much further Return to us We're right where you left us Return to us We're singing the same songs Return to us We won't ask you where you've been Cause we've all made mistakes before And now you're here we'll make some more
