Naked lovers feel the blood beneath their veins

We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds

Even scientists say, everything is just light
C C
Not created, destroyed but eternally bright
G D
Masters in everytime lord in everyplace
C C
Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
Gm Gm F C
In spite of the hate
Gm Gm F Am7
VERSE:
------
Who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?
Who lit the candle that started the fire,
Burnt down the fortress, the throne?
Who could house all the refugees in a single shack
Or a lowly bungalow?
Who lives in a different dimension, free from the
struggles we know?
PRE-CHORUS:
-----------
I give my heart and soul to the one
CHORUS:
-------
We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
Looking back to our birth, forward to our demise
Even scientists say, everything is just light
Not created, destroyed but eternally bright
Masters in everytime lord in everyplace
Those who stood up for love down in spite of the hate
We spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
They live in the light
BRIDGE:
-------
D Em
we made it to the moon
Bm
but we can't make it home
C
waitin' on a rescue that never comes
D Em
made it to the moon
Bm
but we can't make it home
C
maybe home is where the heart is given up
G D C
to the one
G D C
to the one
FINAL CHORUS:
-------------
G D C (The rest of the song follows this progression)
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
they live, they
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
they stood up for love
stood up for love
stood up for love
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
masters in everytime
we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds
stood up for love

| YES, ORIGINAL SUCKS ACOUSTIC, BEAUTIFUL "electric nerves communicate with tiny explosions through our brains " from a philosophical perspective to whether or not we are just carbon based life forms or if we're more, we're souls we're emotion, we're real, we matter or if its all just shorts of brainly functions making us feel what we do its all chemical "who put the flower in the barrel of that gun?" such a hippie thing to do...protests war, yes and yes mad mad props to laughing giraffe we spend so much time analyzing our lives than actually living them life isnt a measure of time, its a measure of feeling, thats how l've always thought of it. | |

| It's a protest against war, and a tribute to love. Simple as that. | |

| I am sad to see so few comments about this dynamic expression of Ed's view of mankind. I think he wrote this song to remind us that despite our constant preoccpation with being the best and acquiring wealth, the human beings who value love above all are the most fulfilled and contented. Sadly as he states in several of the lyrics this preoccupation often costs us more than we receive and will likely lead to our demise. Still I feel a sense hope when I listen to this song as I hear fellow human express the fact that there may still be a chance for us if enough of us focus on primary factor that makes us different from the other beings which share our world; our ability to love each other. | |

| I think there's more to it than just that; yes, it's a song that suggests love is a creative force but it also touches upon the near insanity we experience when trying to figure out why we're put here: we spend all of our lives goin' out of our minds looking back to our birth, forward to our demise & we made it to the moon but we can't make it home waitin' on a rescue that never comes | |
