Fade Away Lyrics

Lighting strikes, cracks the virgin sky

I feel the earth rumble through my soul and touch my weary mind

I hear the thunder of a thousand crying souls

I begin to wonder now as the wind begins to blow

Why the morning never seems to go away

Even though we treat her bad

She always comes back to play

In the evening morning glory fades away

Went to the mountain to see what I could see

Saw other people livin' high on life while others in poverty

Went to the forest, but the forest wasn't there

Corporations burned her soul

Why don't they seem to care

If our children will have a natural place to play

They rape the heart of Mother Nature and steal her hope away

In the evening they fade away

Fade away

Went to the temple to have a talk with God

They told me George was out to lunch right now

But you know they wished me well

As I was leaving I slipped upon the floor

Slipped upon a pool of blood where others had tried before

Won't you tell me why he treats us all this way

Even though we raise our voices

He never hears what we say

In the evening he fades away

Fade away
