When all machinery is failing We'll compensate with our teeth When we can trust the drugs or buildings Take the staples out of our feet When all the trees are reaching for us Rooting up inside our bodies And if we run and hit a hurdle Then we'll just deer leap over We stack bricks (we stack bricks) But walls don't always mean a place to live We're earthworms dried on concrete Celebrating side streets We're brave enough Taking our chances with centuries-old devices Taking our chances with moments-old ideas Strength enough to walk away from it (we can't change this place the way it changes us) Smart enough to know I'm over it (our dream's too big to break) Old enough to be concerned about health (we can't change this place the way it changes us) But young enough to know that I am well (our dream's too big to break) Let's hope that this works out This has got to work out
