Hourglass - Dust and Confusion Lyrics

Dust and confusion are blinding me today:
One filling my eyes, one blocking my way.

Dust from the people who don't appreciate what they have.
Confusion from seeing that we might lose all we have.

What does your freedom mean?
Does it mean your everything?
What is the price that's been paid for your rights?
What is your life without that price?

We're living our fathers' dreams
we're falling apart at the seams
we're sliding downhill too fast
we're forgetting to look at the past

The chance has passed us by
only to come back again.
Remember all who have died,
or we'll soon be where we've been.

What does your freedom mean?
Does it mean your everything?
What is the price that's been paid for your rights?
What is your life without that price?

"From bondage to spiritual faith
from spiritual faith to great courage
from great courage to liberty
from liberty to abundance
from abundance to selfishness
from selfishness to complacency
from complacency to apathy
from apathy to dependency
from dependency back into bondage..."

What does your freedom mean?
Does it mean your everything?
What is the price that's been paid for your rights?
What is your life without that price?

The cycle will repeat.
