The sun is calling out your name from a million miles away
It’s an everyday feeling that you share with everyone
Didn’t you see it on TV (our species may die today)?
How big is a problem when it’s seen from outer space?

Would you hold my hand with faith,
go with to that better place?
Would you cry, lie down and die
or murder your tears and fly?

Every secret is a bullet and every death a shame
We dream in rock ‘n roll, awake, point fingers and blame
There aren’t enough drugs to set us free when evolution’s burning
On a world that won’t stop turning, you feel it, this urge to flee

Would you hold my hand with faith,
go with to that better place?
Would you cry, lie down and die
or murder your tears and fly?

Up here, night and day is one
With death, from this world undone.

PS: Relevant to “flying” and maybe my best Pearl Jam song, this would be a great soundtrack to die to – Play ‘Given to Fly’.
