Acts of Man Lyrics
If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
Let all that run through the fields through the quiet,
Go on with their own, on with their own hidden ways
When all newness of gold travels far from
Where it had once been,
Worn like the earth over years
And when the acts of man
Cause the ground to break open
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold
If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
Great are the sounds of all that live
And all that man can hold
Great are the sounds of all that live
That live
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
Let all that run through the fields through the quiet,
Go on with their own, on with their own hidden ways
Where it had once been,
Worn like the earth over years
And when the acts of man
Cause the ground to break open
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
And all that man can hold
Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wake
And all that man can hold
That live

this is a song about wanting to return to something simpler. more specifically, yearning for simpler times, for less hustle and bustle.
more subtly, it's about the dignity of man on his own. it's a reminder not to be afraid, and to be more easy-going and less worried about the future.
Yeah, I'm surprised there're not more comments. This song seems to be the one of the strongest tracks off this album. The Courage of Others Album release seemed come and go with only a few people noticing. What other tracks are highlights? Fortune and The Courage of Others are the other tracks I think are Memorable.
@NativeIndie, Core of Nature is the best song on it, easily.

Man, YOU didn't even comment (or at least interpret the lyrics:). It may be a strong track, but what the heck does it mean?!
