Conscious Burning

Common Rider

I saw a dark sign on the horizon 
But that's not what I keep my eyes on 
Even in tough times, good people shine 
We say stand together, it's yours and mine 

Conscious burning, 
Everything's gonna be alright 
We're gonna shake this town 
With a long forgotten light 
Things are changing, 
But I am not afraid 
We'll be together 
Rockers of the very Last Wave 

When I step down 
They'll retire my mic forever 
Hang it next to jersey 23 
At the United Center 

Tone syncopation, 
Bigger the bet the better the win 
Consciousness party 
Till the light's shining in 

Whoa, Hey - it's coming down the track 
Wa-ah, one two three to the four 
There just ain't no turning back 
Woah, Hey - mission of the Last Wave 
Rising from the foundation 
That your true soul made 

Music ain't nothing 
But expression of joy 
When the train hits you're gonna feel it 
And if you try to preach, 
That ain't nothing but noise 
But if you're feeling love reveal it 

This phenomenon comes 
From the ground of creation 
Without a doubt 
It is not a sign of weakness 
To be real 
Move your body, turn it out
