Seems the wisdom of man hasn't got much wiser
|
Than the very beginning of our time
|
Agree or war has been our way of compromising
|
Let live and love has become our biggest lie
|
|
Seems to me that fools are even more foolish
|
Thinking of themselves and nobody else
|
But then if asked for poor will riches be replenished
|
They say boot straps must be pulled up by themselves
|
|
Feeding off the love of the land
|
Leaving much to be desired
|
|
Living off the love of the Lord
|
While the price for life is higher
|
|
Isn't love to be admired
|
Has the good in man expired
|
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
|
|
I awake each morning to the birds a-singing
|
Singing out to God to come and save His own
|
But when throughout the world the cry of love is ringing
|
Is then when He'll stop to hear our song
|
|
Did you know that when you feel the earth a-shaken
|
It's only mother nature with a crying heart
|
You see we have taken from her for so many ages
|
Will there be a time when taking stops and giving starts
|
|
'Cause we're feeding off the love of the land
|
Leaving much to be desired
|
|
Living off the love of the Lord
|
While the price for life is higher
|
|
Isn't love to be admired
|
Has the good in man expired
|
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
|
|
Yes, we are feeding off the love of the land
|
Never hearing what He's saying
|
|
Living off the love of the Lord
|
Never feeling what you're praying
|
|
Never praising Him for beauty
|
Only praying God please give me
|
|
Stealing all the love and the beauty from the land
|
Stealing all the love and the beauty from His land
|

Feeding Off The Love Of The Land
