Tumble & Run Lyrics

There's a hungry hawk, circling high in the sky

The young mother rushes when she hears her baby cry

Tumble and run, tumble and run

The candidate stokes the flames of fear and hate

Saying those others are not our brothers, how long must we wait

Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

The pensioner sits in a diaper at the slot machine

Hour after hour, what does it mean

Tumble and run, tumble and run

Buying and collecting all the stuff we don't need

Do you ever ask yourself, what does it mean

Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

Yeah, we'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

We're built for a world, made long, long ago

How can we see, how to let it go

We ask ourselves the wrong questions all the time

Then we wonder why, the answer doesn't rhyme

Tumble and run, tumble and run

To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in a flower

Tumble and run, tumble and run

We'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

Yeah, we'll all find out someday, if it's tumble and run

Meanwhile, turn the lamp around, shine it like the sun

Now shine it all over, on each and every one
