Song Lyrics

"Undertaking"

by Dogwood
Album: Reverse, Then Forward Again

Onward we will go
This urgency is real
Recount where we belong
The undertaking

The thoughts of reproduction,
Of telling has been used
There is no one original
Like when we began anew
We have to try to be
What you say we can be
Its come to killing time
A time to sacrifice for free
No more of this and that
They gave my life to play
Be on, be on the stage *
And in another way
We have to try to be
What you say we can be
I've made the choice to stay
So now you have the right to say

Onward we will go
This urgency is (real)
Recount where we belong
The undertaking

I've studied secret lives
I've studied decent words
Somethings I can't take back
The words the hurt the worst
The days were long and dry.
I long to live again
When we were young and dumb
We didn't have to plan
I wonder will I wait
My plan is ready now
Proceed to staging marks
The actors take their bow
A long decision plain
I long to live again
I've made the choice to stay
So now you have the right to say

Onward we will go
This urgency is (real)
Recount where we belong
The undertaking
Now to you and I
Sometimes I hate to (look)
Look me in the eye
See what we believe

Plead is all we do *
Knowing not what we've done
Famous last words like these
No more, one more, one more.

Onward we will go
This urgency is (real)
Recount where we belong
The undertaking
Now to you and I
Sometimes I hate to (look)
Look me in the eye
I see what we believe
