Along the railroad tracks Lyrics

So many questions not worth the asking

So many answers best left untold

Truth is so often left in chains along the railroad tracks

Slips between our fingers and falls into the cracks

And helpless we look on

What is the difference between a fiction and a fact

A feat of the imagination, an objective act

Learn to script the narrative

Change the whole worldview

Say it loud and long enough

In time what you say becomes true

There are few things more precious in this strange life

In the darkest of times, it's self-belief that brings the light

For in the certainty of being right

Is one of the great remedies for many of life's maladies

That unassailable self-confidence

That you are sitting on the right sight of the fence

Such opportunity for change and transformation

Too much information too little common sense

Data overloads the brain just like water down the drain

Still we stay connected to the source of so much pain

And helplessly look on

What is the distance between fantasy and fact

Reality, imagination, concrete and abstract

Learn to change the narrative

Who knows what you might do

Say it loud and long enough

And perhaps in time

Perhaps in time

What you say becomes true

Can you show me what is real in this strange life
