Around the Bend Lyrics

Oh, to be, to be a human being.
Hands and feet and legs for running free.
Blood to warm our heavy hearts when winter winds pull us apart,
With branches rustling everywhere except the place we're looking for.

Oh, we could build a home, a family.
Holding hands, our children young and free.
I know the fear that haunts your sleep at night,
Our future hopes are just a lie to blind us and to steal our lives,
But no, no.

Don't give up,
the milk and honey is pouring out for us, my love.
And soon we'll conquer everything-
Until then, pretend we're real and happy knowing that there's something there around the bend,
It's waiting there for us.

Destiny, it seems, has left us wondering.
Destiny, it seems, has set us free.
How can we turn back night, forsaking dreams and love each other honestly?
Forever wondering in our hearts, these awful words.

Don't give up,
the milk and honey is pouring out for us, my love.
And soon we'll conquer everything -
Until then, pretend we're real and happy knowing that there's something there around the bend,
I swear it's there for us.
