Seek and Pay

For the first time we stood on the same ground.
On a long phone call, for a moment, were unbound.
Finally wanting more, finally saw the score unsettled.
And we talked of going forth to remind ourselves
What we live for.
But we never moved an inch.
We never moved an inch.
We never moved an inch.

Oh, there’s courage alone in the way we know
What we truly need.
But, do we fear too much to believe
We could ever really have more
Than we were told to seek.

And now the call is over so we go about our days.
Barely getting through with our sanity maintained.
Oh, the words we’ve spoken, I still find they resonate.
But, they never really freed us from our chains.

Oh, there’s courage alone in the way we know
What we truly need.
But, do we fear too much to believe
We could ever really have more
Than we were told to seek.

We seek, we pay.
We seek and we pay.

And now the call is over, so we go about our days.
But, do you ever sit and wonder why
We’re walking the same way
Instead of roads we spoke of,
Or why this is a price we chose
To pay?

We seek, we pay.
We seek, we pay.
We seek and we pay.
We seek...
