[Verse 1]
There is a marker, no one sees it 'cause the sand
Has covered over, all the messages it kept
Misunderstanding, what original truth was
And out expanding, in a faith but not in love
Yeah
What went wrong?
[Chorus]
Walking tightrope high, over moral ground
Seeing visions of, falling up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let what is living love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
[Verse 2]
Those undecided, needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming killing in God's name
But God is nowhere, to be found conveniently
Yeah
What goes on?
[Chorus]
Walking tightrope high, over moral ground
Walk the bridges, before you burn them down
Oh, do come round
With the living, let what is living love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
What do you say?
God, what do you say?
[Verse 3]
I feel a sickness, a sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom, being sucked straight out to sea
And the solution? Well from me far would it be
But the delusion, is feeling dangerous to me
Yeah
What goes wrong?
[Chorus]
Walking tightrope high, over moral ground
Seeing visions of, falling up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let what is living love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
Oh, what do you say?
God, what do you say?
What do you say?
[Outro]
Calling out, calling out
Calling out, calling out
There is a marker, no one sees it 'cause the sand
Has covered over, all the messages it kept
Misunderstanding, what original truth was
And out expanding, in a faith but not in love
Yeah
What went wrong?
[Chorus]
Walking tightrope high, over moral ground
Seeing visions of, falling up somehow
Oh, do come down
With the living, let what is living love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say?
[Verse 2]
Those undecided, needn't have faith to be free
And those misguided, there was a plan for them to be
Now you got both sides claiming killing in God's name
But God is nowhere, to be found conveniently
Yeah
What goes on?
[Chorus]
Walking tightrope high, over moral ground
Walk the bridges, before you burn them down
Oh, do come round
With the living, let what is living love
So unforgiving, yet needing forgiveness first
What do you say?
God, what do you say?
[Verse 3]
I feel a sickness, a sickness coming over me

Calling out, calling out
