about

Prescriptions for human sociality can be divisive; people exist below the social radar and Can’t See the Wood for the Trees.

lyrics

Can't see the wood for the trees
Can't see where you're going if you're down on your knees
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down
You can't move on if you're down on the ground
If life's out of focus shoot from the hip
It's not where you're going it's enjoying the trip
Open your eyes and face down your fears
You're not really drowning it's only your tears
Life is in colour not black and white
Don't run for cover stand there and fight

You're a winner if you try
Front and centre every time
Leave your troubles far behind
It's just fake news in your mind
You can show them
Just live in the moment
Nothing and no one
Can change the fact I've got your back when you...
Can't see the wood for the trees

You can show them
Just live in the moment
Nothing and no one
Can change the fact I've got your back when you...

... Can't see the wood for the trees
Can't see where you're going if you're down on your knees
So, pick yourself up and dust yourself down
You can't move on if you're down on the ground
If life's out of focus shoot from the hip
It's not where you're going it's enjoying the trip
Open your eyes and face down your fears
You're not really drowning it's only your tears
Stand with your brothers doing what's right
Don't leave it to others join in the fight

You can make it if you try
I am standing by your side
Up above us only sky
Take my hand and we can fly
You can show them
Just stay in the moment
Nothing and no one
Can change the fact I've got your back now

You can show them
Just stay in the moment
Nothing and no one
Can change the fact I've got your back when you... Repeat *
