No Far Away - David Wilcox

There’s no far away, There is no more far away

So these dreams of the wild west will lead us astray

There is no more far away

When the war had gone on too long

And the crowd said the troops should come home, home

This blue planet turning alone

The troops had never been gone

There’s no far away, There is no more far away

So these dreams of the wild west will lead us astray

There is no more far away

When the missles are waiting to fly

And rip through the innocent sky

If we swing out our six guns like the sherrif on high

It’s not just the bad guys who die

And these changes can not be denied

We live close to the worlds other side

That can save us or kill us, it’s time to decide

But the past is no safe place to hide

There’s no far away, There is no more far away

So these dreams of the wild west will lead us astray

There is no more far away

For resentment doesn’t die with the dead

Despite what the general said

This oil slick of blood, across the ocean will spread

And just poison our own well instead

There’s no far away, There is no more far away

So these dreams of the wild west will lead us astray

There is no more far away

There is no more far away
