Heresy - Flowers in concrete Friday, December 17, 2010

Flowers in concrete is a track from Face up to it! LP ( 1988) Like flowers growing in concrete There's only so far we can reach (let me tell ya now!) Over the years we've pulled together Looked at our options and stayed clever And watched many directions taken And a mountain of integrity forsaken Constant changes all around us Do we just mirror the society that surrounds us? As we draw strength from each other With this spirit that we have discovered CHORUS: We had to change the game - change the game It's not jsut more of the same - more of the same Some laugh and leave their sinking ship Part of an iceberg of ignorance - the visible tip That hits us hard and we escape at best But when that ice has melted it drifts out with the rest CHORUS But like flowers in concrete There's only so far we can reach Do the best with what we've got Because a foothold is never a lot (that's right - it's not) We have to realise who we are We can only grow and go so far And don't fool yourself otherwise 'Cos in time you'll realise (the reasons why) We've reached the stage Where just a small percentage Can see how things really stand But it's hard to turn concrete into sand (no room to expand) So we stay on underground With this spirit we've found And our goals are in sight But change won't happen over night (unless we make it right)
