Lyrics No Salutations - Stephen Kellogg

When everything we've known is no longer familiar
The cover has been blown on all our past resilience

If we'd been shown long ago
Would it have changed anything?

When it was off to the races, on with the show
No salutations, ready, set, go
Falling down the mountain
Thinking it was something we'd control

Sometimes when I sleep, I hear an incantation
It brings me some relief, placates my frustrations

Once in a dream when I was young
I could have been anyone

But it was off to the races, on with the show
No salutations, ready, set, go
Falling down the mountain
Looking for a place to grab a hold

I used to think I knew it all
I was just learning how to fall

I need to say that, I'm not afraid and
It's OK now not to be OK now
I need to say that, I"m not afraid and
It's OK now not to be OK now
I need to say that, I'm not afraid and
It's OK now not to be OK now
I need to say that, I"m not afraid and
It's OK now not to be OK now

Now it's off to the races, on with the show
No salutations, who needs to know?
Yeah I'm on to the races, off with the show
No salutations, ready, set, go
Falling down the mountain
Freer than I've ever felt before
Cause we can't stay here forever anymore
