There's a shadow in my mind
From a mountain made in time
There's trouble on the rise
They're trying hard to disguise
The struggles that we hide
Behind the walls which we provide
And the people stand in line
Waiting for the answers to arrive
But they know

We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing

Children watch the sky
Wide eyed at the colors that are left behind (?)
And fires in the night
Keep them awake they don't know why
A new rain needs to fall
To keep the wheels, keep the world, keep 'em turning
And as we slowly breathe new life
We'll see the answers that we're trying to find
But you know

We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing
We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing

We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing
We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing
We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing
We're all part of the machine
Can't you see what it's coming to?
Ah, one in a million
Is a happening thing
