Beyond the Machine

Track 13 from "The Machine"

[Verse 1]

The wheel has stopped its endless turning

The chains have fallen to the ground

We've learned what we were always yearning

The freedom that we thought we'd found

No masters pulling on our strings

No puppet shows to play our part

We remember what the morning brings

When we listen to the heart

[Chorus]

Beyond the machine

Beyond the lies

We're finally free

Under open skies

Beyond the machine

Where love survives

We're finally home

We're finally alive

[Verse 2]

The concrete jungle starts to crumble

As gardens grow through broken stone

The mighty towers start to tumble

We're not afraid to walk alone

Or together, hand in hand we go

Into a world we'll build ourselves

Where children laugh and flowers grow

And truth lives on the shelves

[Chorus]

Beyond the machine

Beyond the lies

We're finally free

Under open skies

Beyond the machine

Where love survives

We're finally home

We're finally alive

[Bridge]

Can you feel it in the air?

The change that's coming fast

All the pain and all despair

Belong now to the past

The future's calling us to dance

To sing a brand-new song

We've waited for this second chance

We've waited far too long

[Final Verse]

So, here's to all the dreamers dreaming

Here's to all the hearts that beat

With hope and love and deeper meaning

Making life complete

[Final Chorus]

Beyond the machine

Beyond the lies

We're finally free

Under endless skies

Beyond the machine

Where love survives

We're finally home

We're finally alive

We're finally free

We're finally alive

We're finally home

Beyond the machine

[Outro]

The wheel has stopped...

The wheel has stopped...

We're free...
