As Fast as the Others Lyrics by Warrel Dane

Shadow Work

2018

[Verse 1]
When I was a boy, the children
In school could be so cruel
Pick out the weakest
Push down the weak
Damage the injured
Make themselves kings
[Pre-Chorus]
One day, I told them to be kind
To have clear presence of mind
Then I was one of the weak
As the downtrodden sing their song
All faith is gone
[Chorus]
If you can't run as fast as the others
You will still be my brother
If you can't sail into the wind
You will still be my friend
[Verse 2]
When I looked around, I found
The dregs and the hypocrites following behind
Point out impurity, for they were the freaks
Those without wisdom shall suffer their needs
[Pre-Chorus]
One day, I told them to be pure
And displace their state of hate
Then I became the king
And the children began to sing
All faith is gone
[Chorus]
If you can't run as fast as the others
You will still be my brother
If you can't sail into the wind
You will still be my friend
[Bridge]
Oh, we were young
The children were cruel
Within the shadows do you find your use
And if you were not good enough
You have been disposed
Their minds were closed
[Chorus]
If you can't run as fast as the others
You will still be my brother
If you can't sail into the wind
You will still be my friend
