Marker In The Sand

Pearl Jam · Pearl Jam [2006]

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



What went wrong?



Walking tightrope high, over moral ground

Seeing visions of falling up somehow

Do come down



With the living, let, what is living love

So unforgiving, yet, needing forgiveness first



God, what do you say?



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



What goes on?



Walking tightrope high, over moral ground

Walk the bridges before you burn them down

Do come round



With the living, let, what is living love

So unforgiven, yet, Needing forgiveness first



God, what do you say? What do you say?



There is 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



What goes wrong?



Walking tightrope high, over moral ground

Seeing visions of falling up somehow

Do come down



With the living, let, what is living love

So unforgiving, yet, needing forgiveness first



What do you say? God, what do you say?



Calling out, calling out

Calling out, I'm calling you out
