[Words & Music: Ted Kirkpatrick]
Why does God refuse to move [repeat 4x]
If pigs could fly they'd fly away
and never grace the earth again
I wait and wait and wait and wait
but nothing good happens for me
I pray to fly but when I die
my feet are still flat on the ground
My brain is good, no legs of wood,
but if you could, I think you should
He ain't standing in my way [repeat 4x]
Cause I did nothin' today
Your ship has crashed no sign of shore -
to sit in your lifeboat - you can do no more
5 days at sea starved to the core -
lifeboat is leaking - a rip in the floor
[Solo 1: Ted, Solo 2: Aaron]
But wait - on the horizon -
land - land hoe!
Will you sit there and pray -
or will you get up and row?
The next time you are quick to say
" I'm just waitin' on the Lord"
Just make sure hat you remember
where we all have been before
All things be come one...
The lyrics IF PIGS COULD FLY of TOURNIQUET is also present in the album Crawl to china (1997)
Tourniquet è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere christian thrash metal attivo dal 1987. Fondato a Los Angeles, California, da Ted Leonard (voce), il gruppo ha subito diverse formazioni nel corso degli anni, ma la presenza costante di Leonard ha mantenuto l'identità musicale del gruppo. Tourniquet è noto per la sua musica aggressiva e complessa, che combina elementi di thrash metal con influenze progressive e melodiche. I testi spesso affrontano temi religiosi e filosofici, esplorando questioni di fede, moralità e giustizia sociale. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Judas", "The Hammer" e "Blood and Fire". L'album "Pathogenic Omens" (1993) è considerato un classico del genere christian thrash metal.
