Lyrics

Foolish Zeal (Nelson/Bartoli 2022)
We head down the road
Pulling this load
Praying to the sky
Hoping it’s an easy go

The Things we all must bear
When no one seems to care
Is it all a means to grow
Or is it just the mores we know

Freedom is just a curse
When hate’s the only verse
We yield to ignorance
The times they just get worse

How can we call this freedom
If I gotta hate you and you must despise me
Not sure we’ll find redemption
While foolish Zeal is wedged between

We went on our own
Doing it all alone
Wishing in the well
With no plans to atone

The comforts we don’t share
And the love that we won’t bare
Good feelings are all gone
When there’s none about to care

I’ll fly up to the moon
Write me another tune
I’d never be that cool
But I hope we get there soon

How can we call this freedom
If I gotta hate you and you must despise me
Not sure we’ll find redemption
While foolish Zeal is wedged between

How can we call this freedom
If I gotta hate you and you must despise me
Not sure we’ll find redemption
While foolish Zeal is wedged between
While foolish Zeal is wedged between
Your Foolish Zeal is wedged between
Our Foolish zeal is wedged between
