Jackson Browne - WORLD IN MOTION lyrics

Sun going down in the USA

Down on Main there's a family sleeping in a doorway

Around the corner you can hear the sound

People dancing around the golden calf

Those who have not, those who have

On the billboards and the T.V. screens

They got food and cars and toys and trucks and jeans

Like a homeless child's fitfull dreams

Smiling faces free from wanting

Life's abundances beyond counting

World in motion -- speed your changes

Close your distances, find your angels

Lose your fears and meet your dangers

World in motion

Once we were running through smoke and fire

Running into the sun

In the rush of youth, for love and truth

Our deeds were done

Now we awake with a world at stake

And a race we run

We run

Sun going down on the USA

Sun coming up a hundred years away

On another world and another time

Things like hunger, greed and hatred

One way or another, gonna be eradicated

World in motion -- speed your changes

Close your distances, drive your angels

Lose your fears and meet your dangers

World in motion

'Till the world I look out at this world and see

Is the world I know this world can be

You have a volunteer in me

Now come on
