The Echoing Green - Empath lyrics

Welcome to this place they call the human race

But I just can't keep up

This little planet in space, this ship of human grace

Has gone bottoms up

When we turn our eyes

(From the damage we see on the TV screen)

(We never lock eyes, never hear them scream)

Our passion compromised

We've traded feelings for fun

When we don't cry for no one

Tell me where have we come

When our compassion's out of fashion

Our sensitivity overcome

I feel so numb

'Cause we don't cry for no one

I see a picture of me stranded in the sea

Of shallow felicity

This cloak of unity that's being forced on me

Is a fallacy

When tears don't fall

(when we see the pain of another man's lack)

(walk right by and we never look back)

Our shame is on the wall

From conviction we run

'Cause we don't cry for no one

If I could see beyond my needs

I'd see a face that's crying for me

The Hand of Grace is on this place

But we're blind to The Son...

When we don't cry for no one

(When will tears fall down?)
