lyrics

Glide On By

In a world; of dysfunction, Pain and regrets; my perception
So, how did these; people get that way?
Or more to the point I have to say;
how in gods name to they make it stay?

He was the youngest; of three brothers; Fought in the war; in separate forces
One was captured; and there was one who died
Makes me wonder every day,
why that one is still aliive


Are some born; to be free? Are they put here; for you and me And if so I wonder why?


She was the most; gracious host; She'd meet you
At the door; and you'd melt to the floor
And promptly glide; right out of the room
Left in your head most silently; she's
got you humming the perfect tune


Are some born; to be free? Are they put here; for you and me And if so I wonder why?

Was there somethin'; that I was missin'? hidin' behind, that smoking nissen
Lessons to learn, or yarns to burn..... ….............were they put here for and for me

And if so I wonder why
Why not all. All of us!
We are tired; of all the fuss
While some people Glide On By.

On by, On by,...
