People of the Earth - Lyrics and Music by Mason Lucas
People of the earth you are strong
People of the air carry us on
People of the water noble born
People of the fire ignite your song
And all our yesterdays are dead and gone
They're sailing on and
Tomorrow's solace is illusory
A fleeting promise but
Old armor falls away and horses break apart the harness
Heroes rise above reality because they're honest
People of the earth you are strong
People of the air carry us on
People of the water noble born
People of the fire ignite your song
Like smoke rings falling through the epilogue
Move along to the next chapter of the travelogue
Now we move like the demigods
Hercules removing the absurdity from every yard
From every tenement because that is my temperament
The story's written for me so I have to keep on telling it
All of the elements cleverly delve into relevance
It burns the tip of my tongue
Hotter than a peppermint
And all our yesterdays are dead and gone
They're sailing on and
Tomorrow's solace is illusory
A fleeting promise but
Old armor falls away and horses break apart the harness
Heroes rise above reality because they're honest
And on the first day I wrote the first page
I had to gather my thoughts together in the worst way
Wondering what the people on the planet earth say
Basking in the aftermath of capital birthdays
Do we credit the intelligence or notice the blemishes
And say it bears resemblance to any false premises
The wise revise and incise the lies
Cast aside the guise that will hypnotize
And picture this I keep on kickin' this prediction list
It might be supposition but it's totally fiction-less
It's like reality and dreams in a synthesis
You can ask Icarus what might be the impetus
For smoke rings falling through the epilogue
They frame every syllable children won't you step along
This is our time you know we'll never do it wrong
You know I love you 'cause I mention it in every song
How long we'll never know
Life continues to be incredible
I flow like the river 'cause it runs in my veins and
I'm tall like the trees that supported my frame
I'm on a roll like the thunder that is bringing the rain
Through the canyons we stand on rough terrain
Once upon a time there was a planet like ours
A living vision was the mission looking up at the stars
In this position our decisions' disposition was large
Indivisible family is what we are
Every color every element we are the land
The stones in the sand are the bones in my hand
And the spirits of the forest write the songs for the band
Liberty and love is what we understand
Once upon a time there was a planet like ours
A living vision was the mission looking up at the stars
In this position our decisions' disposition was large
Indivisible family is what we are
How long we'll never know
Life continues to be incredible
