Story behind the song
MAn has hte whole world in his hands but for greed....
Lyrics
We gave away the ocean We gave away the sky We gave away the in between KIlled the science for the lie. We gave away the mountains We gave away the land We gave away the in between For the oil and the sand. One of you is lying One of you is true One of you is in between The answer and the clue One of you is broken One of you is strong One of you is in between The right and the wrong We gave away the ocean We gave away the sea We gave away the in between For what could and colud not be We gave away the night sky We gave away our dream We gave everything in between Everything it seems. One of you is born And One of you must die And of of you is in between The living and the lie... One of you is rich now And one of you is poor And one of you is in between The joy and the sore.

Hi Roger, Really like the lyrics on this. The up/down all around and everything in between. Life certainly is filled with two very different ends. A Left and a Right. Pun intended. LOL! Nice work
