See the soil in our nails from the landscape

See the blood inside our bodies as the red tape

Holding us back under attack

Til it's over it's over it's over

While the others are forever contemplating

We're all smothered by the weather while we're waiting

Watching it all tumble and fall

Til it's over it's over it's over



We're so determined not to drown

We're bailing out the bow

While the stern is going down

Down down down



What's the sense in having all of this potential

When we're spending all our time on the essential

Giving away all that we make

Til it's over it's over it's over

And it's nothing but a life of compromises

Good intentions interrupted by surprises

Pulling us down back to the ground

Til it's over it's over it's over



And while we're reaching for the sky

We're told it's not so high

We're far below it

Still we know we've always got to try



But when the leader doesn't

Know which way to go

How can you follow him

Trust the process

And when the more we learn

The less we seem to know

How can you swallow it

Trust the process



When the day is done and everyone is sated

We're too tired to be wired of creative

Wasting away day after day

Til it's over it's over it's over

And you know we don't expect it to be perfect

At the minimum we thought it would be worth it

Glowing with pride owning the ride

Til it's over it's over it's over



And when we're driving down a road

That's really not a road

We're going nowhere

Still it's good to know we're not alone



But when the leader doesn't

Know which way to go

How can you follow him

Trust the process

And when the more we learn

The less we seem to know

How can you swallow it

Trust the process



There's no use hiding from the truth

You'de be standing on the roof

Ignoring all the stars

There's no use pointing out the truth

You'de be riding on a mule

In a world full of cars



And when we're driving down a road

That's really not a road

We're going nowhere

Still it's good to know we're not alone



Don't you know to trust the process
