I Am The Ride Lyrics - Up On The Lowdown - Chris Smither

Forms are loosely fitting 

Jury still are sitting 

Sense of duty keeps us all in motion 

Prison sirens wailing 

That security is failing 

Do not inspire a lifetime of devotion 

No one will sympathize 

No one really tries 

They need a faith that leads them like a drum 

And I can hear it pounding down among the ruins 

Sad to say, I don't think I'm the only one. 

I awoke and someone spoke 

They asked me in a whisper 

If all my dreams and visions had been answered 

And I don't know what to say 

I never even pray 

I just feel the pulse of universal dancers 

They'll waltz me till I die 

They'll never tell me why 

I never stop to ask them where we're going 

Yes, but the holy, the profane 

Are all helplessly insane 

Wishful, hopeful, never even knowing. 

And they asked if I believe 

And do the angels really grieve 

Or is it all a comforting invention? 

It's just like gravity, I said 

It's not a product of my head 

It doesn't speak, but nonetheless commands attention 

And I don't care what it means 

Or who decorates the scenes 

The problem is more with my sense of pride 

Because it keeps me thinking "me" 

Instead of what it is to be 

I'm not a passenger, I am the ride 

I'm not a passenger 

I am the ride
