The Lesser Worth

(I wanna see your circle-pit)
We're all caught in a dream at different speeds
Chasing the highs that keep us high
but nothing will do, no nothin' is new
so I keep a close eye on You.
I want more, give me more, I want more--
Not America, not the place I love
Not a mountain top, not a setting sun
I find no comfort here for my soul
The terrible tones, we never expose,
Carry the weight we love the most.
The second of things were never to be
the first of our hopes, first of our dreams
I want more, give me more, I want more
Not America, not the place I love
Not a mountain top, not a setting sun
I find no comfort here--
Not America, not the place I love
Not a thousand peaks not a thousand stars
I find no comfort here for my soul- my soul
Not America, not the place I love
Not a mountain top, not a setting sun
I find no comfort here--
Not America, not the place I love
Not a thousand peaks not a thousand stars
I find no comfort here for my soul- my soul
All my life I have tasted of the earth,
Prone to try and secure the lesser worth
But everyday the sun arrives and the moon when day is done
Still my heart, it beats, inside my chest- they’re obeying only One.
Not a politic not a scientist
Not a currency, not a lover’s kiss
Not a selfish aid, not a clean escape
Not the prayerful plan of a prideful man
Not a rush of fame, not a critic’s claim
Not America, not the place I love
Not a mountain top, not a setting sun
I find no comfort here--
In America, not the place I love
Not a thousand peaks or a thousand stars
I find no comfort here for my soul.
