burning timber lyrics

Where is everybody goin'
Are Always learnin' never knowin'
Try and stop the world from turning
But it won't slow down

I was the one you gave your heart to
But after all what did it get you?
Was it enough to put an end to
The risin' flames?

We stand like, burnin' timber
Helpless among the cinders
I prayed for rain, when the sky was blue
What else could I do?

We need to work our way around it
Let it be the way we found it
The more that everything keeps changin'
The less we are gainin'

We stand like, burnin' timber
Helpless among the cinders
I prayed for rain, when the sky was blue
What else could I do?

You build me up, you cut me down
You fight me tooth and nail
Now hand in hand, we walk alone
Along this blazing trail

We stand like, burnin' timber
Helpless among the cinders
I prayed for rain, when the sky was blue
What else could I do?

We stand like, burnin' timber
We stand like, burnin' timber
