Once In A Life

Well I had a dream
My life flashed by on my TV screen
I could turn back time
As long as I could pay
Then I woke
A rising new day

Start your engines
Burn the gasoline
While the seas turn black
And the air turns green
Fire reigns
They die by the blade
Could this be the last mistake
The human beings ever made?

There are those who beat the drum
There are those who march along
There are those who dance and sing
And there are those who can hear the song

Slash-and-burn
This tree’s about to fall
While you turn away you can’t escape
Because we all
On this lifeboat are forever stranded
Unless we learn the power will be handed

I just read your lyrics to your songs and I started crying while reading Rain. Those are really good. How do you come up with lyrics like that?
