Compass in the City Lyrics by Bobby’s Oar

Knots EP

0

Keep on swinging down that hammer
And soon you'll find the truth
Because if all the world all believers
Than why are they leaving you?
Learn to be steady without moving
Shake the purple from the bruising and stand a pace away from the issues, that are driving you insane
With the skeleton of a love song, I find hope in the words
Because when I'm feeling swallowed by heartache
I wanna sing these words loud
I know it's the compass in these cities
That will not stop spinning
I have a dream that I'll grow and I'll love these cities again
I wouldn't have it any other way
People are drawn to buildings, success has a magnetic pull
The case will keep you hungry, until it slowly eats you whole
How long can you fight it, when the air comes calling?
In a world that's built on pavement
We still need soil for roots to grow
I know it's the compass in these cities that will not stop spinning
I have a dream that I'll grow and that I'll love these cities again
I wouldn't have it any other way
