All Hands

The cold finally broke this morning It's quiet on the dock The sun feels so close and warming The air is heavy I'm dreaming of a life I can't afford The ground starts to tremble beneath my feet Feels like my train is coming in I can hear it screaming in the distance My train is coming in Eyes cast towards the heavens They can tell my train is coming in All hands, all hands, all hands My train is coming in I'm standing here in disbelief Like how in the hell is this happening to me? But I'm holding onto this one relief When my train comes in and crashes into me It was over my head Like the sunshine That it rose up to eclipse Maybe it's just in my head Or maybe the sunshine Never did exist Sweet taste of death in my mouth Brings quiet to all of my doubts Come rushing toward me, black wave The train that never did come early anyway (All hands, all hands, all hands) And it never is delayed (My train's about to come in) Come rushing toward me, black wave The train that never did come early anyway And it never is delayed I'm dreaming of a life I can't afford I'm dreaming of a life I can't afford The ground starts to tremble beneath my feet Seems like my train is coming in I can hear it screaming in the distance My train is coming in Eyes cast towards the heavens They can tell my train is coming in All hands, all hands, all hands My train is coming in I'm standing here in disbelief Like how in the hell is this happening to me? Is this happening to me? But I'm holding onto this one relief When my train comes in and crashes into me It crashes into me And In the aftermath I'm just a struggling mass Painted black Just as everything that was left out on the tracks And those who pass me by cannot decide Whether I'm animal or human Animal or human Under the black mass --- All Hands - Protest the Hero
