Pearl Jam
Marker in the Sand
[Verse 1]
There is a marker, no one sees it 'cause the sand
Has covered over all the messages it kept
Misunderstandin' what original truth was
And out expanding in a faith but not in love, yeah
[Chorus 1]
What went wrong?
Walkin' tightrope high over moral ground
Seein' visions of fallin' up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let what is livin' love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
[Verse 2]
Those undecided needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claimin' killin' in God's name
But God is nowhere to be found, conveniently, yeah
[Chorus 2]
What goes on?
Walkin' tightrope high over moral ground
Walk the bridges before you burn them down
Do come 'round
With the living, let what is livin' love
Unforgiving, yet needin' forgiveness first
God, what do you say? God, what do you say?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, I feel a sickness, a sickness comin' over me
Like watchin' freedom a-bein' sucked straight out to sea
And a solution? Well, from me far would it be
But the delusion is feelin' dangerous to me, yeah
[Chorus 1]
What goes wrong?
Walkin' tightrope high over moral ground
Seein' visions of fallin' up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let what is livin' love
Unforgiving, yet needin' forgiveness first
Oh, what do you say? God, what do you say?
What do you say?
[Outro]
Callin' out, callin' out
Callin' out, callin' out, yeah
