Lyrics: i've got a yearning aching in me i've got to sing it out in the swirling breeze i've got a feeling ancient and free if i don't let it flow it will conquer me i'm wondering can you hear a single line over and above those televised lies or can you hear me screaming off to the side? i've got a darkness growing in me a symptom of a century spiraling this never-ending need to succeed a clinging to a line that's unraveling i'm trying to remember simpler times i'm tangling in your wireless lines i can only speak one word at a time would you look me in the eye – and listen? you can take me as i am as you are you are alright, alright come hear the song our fathers sang come hear the song our fathers sang come hear the song our fathers sang and speed away the pain when did you last have your hand held? or speak with friends and family face to face? there's no need to request my friendship i would like to invite you into my space you're carrying so many loads at a time i just wanna hear what's on your mind what are the questions of your life? i will look you in the eye – and listen you can take me as i am as you are you are alright, alright come hear the song our fathers sang come hear the song our fathers sang come hear the song our fathers sang and speed the pain away i've got a yearning aching in me i've got to sing it out in the swirling breeze i've got a feeling ancient and free if i don't let it flow it will conquer me
