Arrested Development - Washed Away Lyrics

Pebble by pebble, sand grain by sand grain
Shore turns to sea, shore turns to ocean
Serpent creates the high tides
To assure all good is floating
Good and righteousness is not intellectual
And the fabric that's good cannot be proven
And so that fabric is washed away
Far from the shore from which it was woven

The shore is a place where persons live
Sowing fabrics that's a tangent of the real one
Not wearable to most of the persons on shore
In fact, it's only wearable to the person of one
One person under an oath
A oath to a serpent, an evil snake
In search for being as powerful as God
And all God's good he'll try to take
He'll try to take, he'll try to take
Good being washed away, love being washed away

Most of the persons follow the serpent
'Cause the serpent preaches, "All for self"
But why follow someone in search of something
When you'll get nothing, serpent's all for self
Some are dumb, some know no better
Some believe there is no Lord
The serpent uses this knowledge to help him
Wash away more of the shore

Serpent knows once shores are gone
There's nothing left but ocean and sea
A few persons trying to save the shore
Some of those persons are A.D.
Saving the shore means saving the faith
The faith that there is a mighty someone
Someone much more mighty than the serpent
In fact the someone that created everyone
Up the ocean without a paddle
Is the fabric of God, the righteous clothing
And you wear non-righteous clothes of the serpent
Naively we keep on serving

The ocean's owned by the serpent
The ocean's owned by the serpent
The ocean's owned by the serpent
The ocean's owned by the serpent

We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away

Why we let them wash it away?
Why are we allowing them to take what's good?
Why don't we teach our children what is real?
Why don't we collect and save what is real?
Look very hard and swim the ocean
We must find what needs to be found
Look all around and find a wise man
Feed us the truth and keep us sound

All of us must swim the seas
'Cause our path's been washed away
All of us must swim the seas
'Cause our path's been washed away
My one purpose is to swim the seas
Find the truth and spread it around
Give it to the children that know how to listen
So they can pass it after I drown

We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away, we can stop
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away
We can stop being washed away

Sand grain by sand grain, pebble by pebble
We can stop this, we can stop
Can you help us? Will you help us?
Please, help us stop being washed away
All of us must swim the sea, all of us
Can you help us? Will you help us? Please, help us
Will you help us stop being washed away?
Can you help us? Will you help us?
All of us must swim the sea, all of us
All of us must swim the sea
Can you feel that, can you feel?
We're in problem we're in problem, we're in problem
All of us must swim the sea
