about

Original studio version appears on the 2012 album "The Ghost of John Henry"

lyrics

My strength
My enemy
Gone, the days I thought I had
Ahead of me
My strength
My enemy
Work my hands have done I'm told
Is obsolete

You use words like progress
You use words like change
And grind your brothers down beneath
This onward rushing train
The world keeps spinning faster
But where's it taking us?
The more machines we build
The more there is to rust, I say…

Oh, oh, oh,
You can keep tomorrow
I don't know how to live the life you're promising
Oh, oh, oh
You can keep tomorrow
If disappointment is all it brings.

My pride
My ability
Though the ground may shift and change
Beneath my feet
My pride
My ability
Haven’t met the mountain yet
Could conquer me

You can yell your progress
You can yell your change
But if this river breaks its banks
We all drown just the same
The world keeps spinning faster
But where's it taking us?
The more machines we build
The more there is to rust and I say…

Oh, oh, oh,
You can keep tomorrow
I don't know how to live the life you're promising
Oh, oh, oh
You can keep tomorrow
If disappointment is all it brings

All it brings
All it brings
My strength
My strength
My strength
My strength
