Arrested Development - Washed Away Lyrics
Pebble by pebble, sand grain by sand grainShore turns to sea, shore turns to oceanSerpent creates the high tidesto assure all good is floatingGood and righteousness is not intellectualand the fabric that's good cannot be provenand so that fabric is washed awayfar from the shore from which it was wovenThe shore is a place where persons liveSowing fabrics that's a tangent of the real onenot wearable to most of the persons on shoreIn fact, it's only wearable to the person of oneone person under an oathAn oath to a serpent, an evil snakein search for being as powerful as Godand all God's good he'll try to take[CHORUS:][He'll try to take] (2x)[Good being washed away][Love being washed away]Most of the persons follow the serpentcoz the serpent preaches "all for self"But why follow someone in search of somethingwhen you'll get nothing. Serpent's all for selfSome are dumb, some know no betterSome believe there is no LordThe serpent uses this knowledge to help himand wash away more of the shoreSerpent knows once shores are gonethere's nothing left but ocean and seaA few persons trying to save the shoreSome of those persons are A.D.Saving the shores means saving the faithThe faith that there is a mighty someoneSomeone much more mighty that created everyoneUp the ocean without a paddleis the fabric of God, the righteous clothingAnd you wear non-righteous clothes of the serpentNaively we keep on serving[CHORUS:][The ocean's owned by the serpent] (4x)[We can stop being washed away] (6x)Why we let them wash it away ?Why are we allowing them to take what's good ?why don't we teach our children what's good ?Why don't we collect and save what is real ?Look very hard and swim the oceanWe must find what needs to be foundLook all around and find a wise manto feed us the truth and keep us soundAll of us must swim the seascoz our path's been washed awayAll of us must swim the seascoz our path's been washed awayMy only purpose is to swim the seasFind the truth and spread it aroundGive it to the children that know how to listenso they can pass it after I drown[We can stop being washed away] (6x)[Sand grain by sand grain, pebble by pebble][we can stop this, we can stop][Can you help us ?][Will you help us ?][Please][Help us stop being washed away][All of us must swim the sea][All of us][Hey !][Can you help us ? Will you help us ?][Oooh please help us ]
