lyrics

The Great Unknown
(Anders, O’Bitz ©2020)

Why can’t you think, or feel, ask why
Why refuse to see what’s been done
Why do we work, and build with such might
What’s the damage in the great unknown

We have our hills, our shores, our skies
Why can’t you just leave ‘em alone
We have our booms and busts and your lies
Heading for the great unknown

We know that hope would calm the fright
Brakin’ at this fork in the road
Also that hope is needed to fight

We know that hope won’t cure the blight
Headed for the great unknown
Need more than hope in order to fight

We are the ones, who think, ask why
We are the ones who grow
We are the ones, who learn and who fight
Who’ll be there in the great unknown

We get the chills from such a sight
That’s why we can’t just leave it alone
We have our booms and busts and your lies
Heading for the great unknown

We know that hope would calm the fright
Brakin’ at this fork in the road
Also that hope is needed to fight

We know that hope won’t cure the blight
Headed for the great unknown
Need more than hope in order to fight

Dig it up
Asking why
Hard to know
What is right
Not hard to know
That our future’s worth a fight

We know that hope would calm the fright
Brakin’ at this fork in the road
Also that hope is needed to fight

We know that hope won’t cure the blight
Headed for the great unknown
Need more than hope in order to fight

We know that hope would calm the fright
Headed for the great unknown
Need more than hope in order to fight
To fight

Singer-songwriter Eric Anders (right) and guitarist-composer Mark O'Bitz (left) both hail from California. Eric and Mark have been working on music together since Eric's 2003 debut release, Not At One--like all of Eric's solo releases it was mostly Anders/O'Bitz. The guys started releasing music as a duo in 2018 with Of All These Things and have released at least an album every year after that. ... more
