Trust the Process Lyrics
See the soil in our nails from the landscape
See the blood inside our bodies as the red tape
Holding us back, under attack
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
While the others are forever contemplating
We’re all smothered by the weather while we’re waiting
Watching it all tumble and fall
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
We’re so determined not to drown
We’re bailing out the bow
While the stern is going down
Down, down, down
What’s the sense in having all of this potential
When we’re spending all our time on this potential?
Giving away all that we make
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And it’s nothing but a life of compromises
Good intentions interrupted by surprises
Pulling us down back to the ground
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And while we’re reaching for the sky
We’re told it’s not so high
We’re far below it
Still we know we’ve always got to try
But when the leader
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process
When the day is done and everyone is sated
We’re too tired to be wired or creative
Wasting away day by day
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And you know we don’t expect it to be perfect
At the minimum we thought it would be worth it
Glowing with pride, owning the ride
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And while we’re driving down a road
That’s really not a road
We’re going nowhere
Still it’s good to know we’re not alone
But when the leader
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process
There’s no use hiding from the truth
You’d be standing on the roof
Ignoring all the stars
There’s no use pointing out the truth
You’d be riding on a mule
In a world full of cars
And while we’re driving down a road
That’s really not a road
We’re going nowhere
Still it’s good to know we’re not alone
But when the leader
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process
Don’t you know to trust the process?
See the blood inside our bodies as the red tape
Holding us back, under attack
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
While the others are forever contemplating
We’re all smothered by the weather while we’re waiting
Watching it all tumble and fall
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
We’re bailing out the bow
While the stern is going down
Down, down, down
When we’re spending all our time on this potential?
Giving away all that we make
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And it’s nothing but a life of compromises
Good intentions interrupted by surprises
Pulling us down back to the ground
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
We’re told it’s not so high
We’re far below it
Still we know we’ve always got to try
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process
We’re too tired to be wired or creative
Wasting away day by day
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
And you know we don’t expect it to be perfect
At the minimum we thought it would be worth it
Glowing with pride, owning the ride
Till it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
That’s really not a road
We’re going nowhere
Still it’s good to know we’re not alone
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process
You’d be standing on the roof
Ignoring all the stars
There’s no use pointing out the truth
You’d be riding on a mule
In a world full of cars
That’s really not a road
We’re going nowhere
Still it’s good to know we’re not alone
Doesn’t know which way to go
How can you follow him?
Trust the process
And when the more we learn
The less we seem to know
How can you swallow it?
Trust the process

I believe this song is about Leaders controlling people to believe in them and their process even if it’s bad for the people to follow them they still follow the leader just because he says it’s the right thing to do and the only thing people can do and when someone realises this, telling it to others falls on deaf ears because they won’t listen to you because they’re too brainwashed to think any other way. And people are just wasting away working themselves to the bone and letting people take advantage of them because that’s just the process...it’s what the leaders say is right, when it is not.
