The Lilac Time – Return To Us lyrics

If a song can change a theatre
A song can change a town
And if a song can change a city
Pick you up not put you down
Then a song can change a country
And then try to change the world
The rocking horses soon will ride
A rocket ship with us inside
Will take us to our hidden pride
And purpose
Return to us
We're right where you left us
Return to us
We're singing the same songs
Return to us
We won't ask you where you've been
Cause we've all made mistakes before
And now you're here we'll make some more
If you don't know where you're going
I will be your guide
And when you can go no further
I'll be by your side
You are sister to the moon that shines
And sister to the tide
It's never on the evening news
When Susan Sontag sings the blues
Free thinking or expensive shoes
It's your call
Return to us
This time we'll make a difference
Return to us
Cause we don't have much time
Return to us
Admit the seas are rising
It's not our country anymore
Get ready for a civil war
Where once were rights they change the law
The fights we won are won no more
Silence will fall there is no doubt
It's treason if you think to shout
Welcome to the blackout
If I'm with her and you're with me
Let's make a human chain
The bigots and the racists
Always claim they'll rise again
But if the universe is infinite
They're a little ______ stain
If disco sucks then so does rock
And Frank O'Hara's in the dock
Let's stop them turning back the clock
Much further
Return to us
We're right where you left us
Return to us
We're singing the same songs
Return to us
We won't ask you where you've been
Cause we've all made mistakes before
And now you're here we'll make some more
