Respond to the Feeling
I'm drowning in the think tanks
And tortured in the bay
A nation holds its breath at the privates on parade
You can sleep walking to the night or you can focus on forever
You can make the short term right, but you better focus on the forever
You gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
You gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
The things you say are not what I see
There's a focus on I, but not on we
You tell me that we're in this together
But you're as changeable as the weather
The things you say are not what I see
There's a focus on you, but not on me
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
What's left for you
If everybody is turning right?
What's left for me
If everybody is turning right?
You gotta take a risk before that feeling goes
You gotta take a risk before that feeling flies
You gotta take a risk before that feeling goes
You gotta take a risk before that feeling flies
Oooh, starting to feel it
Oooh, I don't want this feeling to die
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it ringing true
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
You've gotta respond to the feeling if you can feel it too
