I'm holding on to nothing But this love for life Things really haven't turned out right, oh no We're running at the wrong speed Chasing our tails of time All God's children holding back the line Someday we're bound to wake up And any fool could make it happen Any fool could make it work All they need is some compassion Growing flowers in the earth Who's swimming, waving and drowning The silence grows more and more profound Oh baby, who, whose trip is this? I won't be blinded The sun may be shining But there's black clouds of smoke arising Tell me who, whose trip is this? Oh tell me who, whose trip is this? Standing still amidst the madness Gravity pulls you in It's time to question everything you see, mmm Who's to say we must be dreaming Believing we all are free Cause dreams are what we're gonna need Or else we'll never wake up And any fool could make it happen Any fool could make it work All they need is some compassion Growing flowers in the earth Who's swimming, waving and drowning The silence grows more and more profound Oh baby, who, whose trip is this? Moonlighting, finally stopped fighting And it's patently all for nothing Tell me who, whose trip is this? Oh tell me who, whose trip is this? It's not good enough To believe in change When attitudes remain the same Who, whose trip is this? And I won't be rushed Or dealt a hand In somebody else's power plan Who, whose trip is this? Won't somebody tell me 'cause I, I need to know now Who, whose trip is this? Any fool can make it happen Can make it work All we need is some compassion And the will to learn Tell me who, whose trip is this (after all)?

I'm remembering Julia and little girls with 99 lives she is standing in the road sad eyes smiling she is alone in a blue shirt by a blue car the sky is grey, forever grey someone has come to visit a father, a friend says goodbye never to be seen again he drives away, he just drives away. She's laughing from the trees picking muscadines she's crying in the pulpit waiting for a sign she whispers a prayer as she is pushed beneath the water promise to be a good soldier to fight for what's hers she's the changeling the wrong cast the tom boy who could run so fast she's on her knees, on her back the stone that couldn't be cracked Julia is forgetting but I am remembering little girls with 99 lives they are wounded but healing quietly feeling their loss of innocence her fear is deep rooted bred to the bone an abandoned camp fire of ash and stone i am turning the soil of the memories she's buried lightening the burden of the shame she has carried she is sinking into the earth leaving no trace i slip into her shoes and ties the laces i'm remembering julia and little girls with 99 lives we're chasing dandelions making wishes on four leaf clovers and falling stars I'm learning to live and Julia is learning to forgive.

I am holding you he is holding me we are guided by the light of your hands climbing trees to the promised land I am sleeping with him he is dreaming of you we are children running all the way to your door I believe we're gonna crack this core Starred and Dreaming
