Lyrics
Something More © Martin Kerr 2006
V1:
She votes for change, but nothing grows from conflict
Except the things we hate about ourselves.
They can’t pass a law to end indifference.
No human rights can break us from our shells, ‘cause…
Chorus 1:
True freedom is in submission to his commandments.
You say ‘who needs them?’ but we’re all wishing for something more
Mysterious than them and us.
V2:
His lips have disappeared from acting serious
And watching all his numbers rise and fall
He walks on by my singing in the subway
And he plugs his ears, won’t listen to me calling out that…
Chorus 2:
True freedom is in submission to his commandments.
You say, ‘who needs them?’ but we’re all wishing for something more
Remarkable than material.
Bridge:
I’m not giving in to dos and don’ts,
I’m not giving up my youth,
But I’m blasting through the stratosphere
With coordinates for planet truth!
V3:
Every day’s exhausting doing nothing that matters
You stay in my cocoon to save your wings.
And you double-bolt the door to your apartment.
But how did you think that could keep you safe from anything?
Chorus 3:
True freedom is in submission to his commandments.
You say, ‘who needs them?’ but we’re all wishing for something more
Fulfilling than just chilling.
