Standing In The Breach - Jackson Browne
Although the Earth may tremble
and our foundation crack
We are all assembled
and we will build them back
And let's just say the lives remain
and held within our reach
Try to put our world together
standing in the breach
So many live in poverty
while others live like Kings
Though some may find peace
and acceptance in all that living brings
I will never understand
how ever they've prepared
How one life is struck down
and another life is spared
Though the earth may tremble
and cast our work aside
Though their efforts resembled
the fluctuations of time
We rise and fall with the trust
and belief and love redeems our seed
And our backs and the hearts
together standing in the breech
You don't know why
It's such a far cry in what
this world could be
You don't know why
But you still try for the world you wish to see
You don't know how it will happen
now after all that's come undone
But you know the change
that the world needs now is there in everyone
The unpaid debts of history
the open wounds of time
The laws of Human Nature always
tugging from behind
I want to think that the earth can heal
and the people might still learn
How to meet this world's true challenges
and if it costs their own can turn
Though the earth may tremble and
the ocean's pitching arrives
We are all assembled
And we will lift our eyes
To the tasks that we know lie before us
and the power of our press besieged
And lift our souls into
the Heavens standing in the breach
You don't know why
It's such a far cry from
what this world can be
You don't know why
But you still try for
the world you wish to see
You don't know how
It will happen now
For all that's come undone
But you know the world you waiting for
may not come may not come
But you know the change the world needs
now is there in everyone
