Lyrics
PERIPHERY
Verse 1
Gotta look around, gotta get around
gotta sing the sounds of love
gotta slow down, get the low down
gotta start dreaming of love
but then you wake and hear the warnings
we?ve gotta stop this planet waring
don?t just stand upon the circle
periphery, of destiny, of you and me
periphery, periphery, periphery
Verse 2
don?t denigrate, nor hesitate
to sing the sounds of love
don?t contemplate, participate
start dreaming of love
and when you wake to find a brand new day
you got no troubles they?ve just washed away
when you leave the circle
periphery, of destiny, it sets you free
periphery, periphery, periphery
- harp as verse
Bridge
There?s a time when your sun goes down
and the Red Clouds dance to those evening sounds
and you?ve lived like peace just comes for free
like burning the circle when you?re standing upon, standing upon
the periphery, periphery, periphery
periphery, periphery, periphery -(omit this line last time)
- repeat bridge
