Lyrics to Threads

Sittin' there on the edge of the curb

The people on the street just pass with no word

So come on lets observe the modern day marvel

It's just the humankind



Passing on by have you not learned your lesson

Jesus saved the weak and weary from the grips of oppression

Or are you waiting for your chance to make your confession

I know it puts you in a peace of mind



We're all just prisoners to these thoughts we can't escape

Lately I don't know if I'm asleep or I'm awake

I hope I get this all written out before my train of thoughts runs off the page

My thoughts meander I think I'm asleep at the wheel again



Scene cut to a world not even second, but third, how do you class the classless?

With a number not a word, a place where bombings on the street are likely to occur

Well how come more people aren't asking why? so pick up

Your own piece of the thread start today, only matter what you do, don't matter what you say

One time for the mothers the brothers the fathers the daughters

We won't let them be left for dead



Cause their all just prisoners to these lives they can't escape

Lately I can't bare there any more for them to take

I hope I get this all out tonight before they cover me up with the yellow tape

Once the truth is out let it be spread all over the place



Pick up your own piece of the thread, only matter what you do, don't matter what you said now

Pick up your own piece of the thread, only matter what you do, don't matter what you said now



Nobody should ever be held back, or living off what other people throw back

Something always makes me wanna hold back, we gotta find the love to overcome

Nobody should ever be held back, or living off what other people throw back

Something always makes me wanna hold back, we gotta find the love to overcome



We got to find the love to overcome

Pick up your own piece of the thread
