Crawl
I am walking through the desert, I am walking through the jungle
I am looking for my long lost friend Chad
I have oh so many questions, I have oh so many worries
simply circling inside my weery head
Tell me, are we the only ones who care?
Are we the only ones who give a damn?
Are we destined to be prisoners?
Are we destined to be conquered by the overwhelming forces of mice and men?

Because we sure don’t have forever
to plot and scheme to break down these walls
So tonight, if we can’t walk upright, we’ll crawl

Doctor, doctor, won’t you let me be myself
though I know I’m not like the other ones
See, these pills are branded with a label, I am branded with a label
and placed high on an unreachable shelf
Cast me down into the masses, cast me out among the throngs of nonbelievers
Let me shed a little light, I pray
I pray that someday peace will find its way into my heart
and in my heart is where my peace will stay
Deep within my heart, that’s where my peace will stay

Because we sure don’t have forever
to plot and scheme to break down these walls
So tonight, if we can’t walk upright, we’ll crawl
Through the valley of decision, we’ll crawl

So I made it through the desert, and I made it through the jungle
and I finally found my long lost friend, Chad
And he answered all my questions, and he put to rest my worries
with the wisdom of the countless miles he tread
You see, our momentary struggles and our momentary fevers
are no more than just a fleeting, falling star
Just as soon as they have burned out, let us rise above the ashes
Let us find another reason for who we are

Because we sure don’t have forever
to plot and scheme to break down these walls
So tonight, if we can’t walk upright, we’ll crawl
