Raising the Mammoth
In My Experience An Act Of Passing Takes The Stage <br/> In An Interchange Of Confidence<br/> In My Experience An Obligation By Design <br/> Where My Liberty Is Just A Word,It's Just A Word<br/> In My Experience An All Consuming Type Of Dance<br/> Embracing A Silent Partner Who Takes The Lead Away<br/> Just When You Thought You The Hang Of It<br/> <br/> In My Experience Mind And Matter Time And Space <br/> Play An Endless Game Of Endurance<br/> All In A Lifetime Of Work Fatigue Reaction, <br/> My Body Slows But My Mind Is Quick<br/> Firing Thoughts In Random Succession<br/> My Passage To Paralysis Might Seem Diverted<br/> Well I Can Tell You<br/> I Can Feel It Coming On, I Can Feel It Coming On<br/> In My Experience The Center Of Trade For My Soul<br/> My Humanity Knows When I Try To Back Away<br/> Or When I Raise The Mammoth<br/> <br/> Penance Aside When Expression Resides,<br/> Strike A Blow For The Teacher Who Got Me Thinking<br/> Listen My Son, You Have Got Only One Chance<br/> There's No State Of Grace For A Poor Man's Offering<br/> <br/> I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years<br/> And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction<br/> 'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now<br/> Let Us Stray From My Course, Turned Away <br/> When It Came To The Day,That I Needed Something, <br/> Turn To Stone, Turn It Over Alone,<br/> Light A Path, Find A Way To My Promised Land<br/> <br/> I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years,<br/> And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction<br/> 'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now<br/> <br/> I Face My Passage To Paralysis, <br/> Can't Stop This Free Fall Of Analysis<br/> I Face My Passage To Paralysis, <br/> Just Brace For Impact In A Long, Long, Long <br/> Long, Long, Long, Long Stall<br/> <br/> In My Experience, I Pause Before And After, <br/> In My Experience, I Learn Before And After <br/> That The Time Has Come For Reflection,<br/> On My Passage To This Hemisphere<br/> In My Experience, A Piece Of Music Or My Favorite Book,<br/> And An Evening Alone, Makes Me Think About "Someday",<br/> When We All Raise The Mammoth<br/> <br/> 'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now<br/> <br/> 'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now<br/> <br/> Hit By The Force Of A Madman's Recourse,<br/> Pound A Fist, Wayward Course For Such An Old Man,<br/> What Will I Make When My Spirit Awakes,<br/> And My Endgame Is Only Another Start ?<br/> <br/> I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years,<br/> And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction<br/> 'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now<br/> <br/> Why Am I Left To Waiting ?<br/> Why Do I Feel This Pressure ?<br/> Why - When It's Only Me Here ?<br/> I Write My Own Destiny, <br/> With My Fears Of What I'll Be,<br/> And I Can't Pretend To See, <br/> What I Just Can't See<br/> How Did I Ever Get Here ? <br/> How Do I Make A Change ? <br/> How Do I Find A Peace Here ?<br/> <br/> Prevent Disaster, Annihilate This Plague,<br/> A Principle Brew Motion, My Procession Is Vague, <br/> My Souls Stirs A Brew Of Redemption That Is Lost.<br/> I Awake From A Stupor And Realize The Cost,<br/> Now I Realize The Cost<br/> Now I Realize The Cost Is Great,<br/> And I Wait For A Reason To Stay, My God
