Trey Anastasio - Forward People lyrics

We are one you are not alone
All things are connected
And we are reaping what we’ve sown
But even out there on your own
We cannot be divided you are not alone
You’re never really alone

But, if they’re true
These platitudes and hallmark poems
Why am I so lonesome?
And feel so far from home?
I’m sending messages they’re woven
In these tones
I’m sending messages they’re braided
In these lines i hope this bottle finds
Some winding Way to you
The tide moves in and out
And what goes up comes down
Misty childhood memories
I was far too young to know
Then came the lies the Howling wind blew in


Now the green fields are frozen
The path we have chosen led us here

Don’t bother saying it
I just can’t stop staring
I won’t waste another day
But, I just won’t stop caring i miss you too
There’s nothing more to say now
I’m Focused on the new i know we’ll find
I know we’ll find a way

So I try to let it go now
But Planted on this pavement
As I watch the fires grow
I recall cool water we would dip our toes in
Now we’re following the path
But the path that we have chosen didn’t last
How could it all all have gone so fast

Steel Sharpens Steel the cross and wheel
I hear a voice "we have a choice"
This fading light
Is my Prison or my redemption it’s up to me
Birds taking flight a new dawn is breaking
Move thru the morning mist
My hopeful heart is aching sway in the light
Sway in the light i hear a voice

An invisible hand is Conducting the melody
We think that we are composing
But the music is pointing beyond me now
And I’m trying to let go
The worst part is not knowing
And something keeps pulling me Down down down
Down down down down

Down at the edge of your mind
Down at the edge of your mind the truth lies
Down at the edge of your mind
Down at the edge of your mind
Beneath the lies

Down at the edge of your mind
Down at the edge of your mind the truth lies
Down at the edge of your mind
Down at the edge of your mind

Celestial melody roar of Thunder
Speak to me your timeless poetry
The sky is Orange chemistry as I lay Burning
A sleepy moon is turning
Her indifferent face away from me
Till I’m left with only memories
And these waves exploding
And visions turning they never stop
And they never stop and we’re moving
And the waves exploding they never stop
And I’m on the edge of your Perfect Order
Your secrets told to me waves exploding
And moving and we’re moving
And it never stops the waves exploding
They never stop they never stop
And I hear a voice
And it’s calling out to me roaring
And booming i hear a voice
And it’s calling out to me

Love now
Forward people we’re all one people now
Love move Forward people
We’re all one people love now forward people
We’re all one people now love
