Charlie Sexton - Everyone Will Crawl

It's a long hard road
from creation to the grave
too many lost souls down here
too few of them are saved
it's a real big picture
starting one and all
everyone here will play the fool
everyone will crawl
everyone will crawl

It's a mass production
it's everywhere you are
from the slaughter of the innocent
to the burning of the farm
nothing is for certain here
and everybody's armed
the only thing that's guaranteed
is everyone will crawl
everyone will crawl

yes we crawl thru from the heartbreak
we're crawl thru the weeds
we crawl toward the love
thru the prejudice and greed
from queens and kings and presidents
the greatest to the small
everybody, everyone
everybody, everyone
everyone will crawl

I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was free
beyond the barbed wire
high above the underground
I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was free
flying higher and higher
as the world fell below me

I climbed up on the mountain
and I snuck up on the man
with my notebook of stone
wide open and my chisel in my hand
I said how come things are so tough
down here how come we all must fall
he said how you gonna learn to walk
how you gonna learn to run
how you gonna learn to fly
until you learn to crawl
