The Glory

Sun on your back

Neck turning pink

World movin' slow

So you know what you think

Nothing but lines and a bait-hook

To trouble the water

♪

Change isn't bad

But change should go slow

One change above can shift ten things below

Know when to stop

Or you'll find yourself chopping down

All trees, they're still growing

The old ways we all know

The old rules, the old days

The glory

These old eyes can still see

These old hands remind me

The old life, the old times

The glory

♪

When you step into a nest of hornets

Someone's gonna get stung

Better to let nature take its course

If you're standing there atop the ladder

Hanging on the top rung

You won't ever feel the river's force

Oh, the people down below sense

The turning of the tide

They want someone in command

Who's uniquely qualified

To defend them, protect them

Restore their respect

And their kind!

Counter the slack

Temper the speed

Follow the currents, and watch where they lead

Catch what they're missing

And learn how to listen

To all souls, they still cry

Over the wall, dry

The old fight, the old score

The new chance to fight for

The glory

The glory

The glory

♪

Sun on your back

Neck turning pink

The world moving slow so you know what you think
