Soot, Smoke and the Working Coast

[Verse 1]
A sky on fire hear our prayer
A soul gunned down hear our prayer
A coast on fire hear our prayer
Up in smoke through our prayers

[Chorus]
How can I change with my hands tied?
We talk in circles all the time
A river flows in no straight line
Heed the warning believe the signs

[Verse 2]
A conversation you can't keep
A magic show on late TV
Lost your heart in jubilee
At what cost to be free

[Chorus]
How can we change with our hands tied?
We talk in circles all the time
A river flows in no straight line
Soot, smoke and the working coast
Rising tides, losing hope
A life-long lesson on how to cope
How we can change with our hands tied?
We talk in circles all the time
A river flows in no straight line
