	Story Behind the Song This song arose from a sense of wonder at the endless changes we put ourselves through. It also survived many years in the can before emerging on February 2003's "Earthbound", Bierhorst's entirely self-performed and self-recorded sixth CD. Lyrics I'm breaking the law of averages The one that denies we're all infinite A long roll of tape with flies stuck in it Spoiling the ointment of happiness I'm breaking the surface that we tend with care Underneath something we don't dare Disturb from its slumber Release into the air CHORUS Peace on Earth will be delayed again I'm looking over my shoulder Surveying the places I've been I know that as I grow older I'll long to see them again I'm breaking the law of averages The one that condemns us to repeat The same mistakes Again and again CHORUS I get down on my knees and I pray for a blank slate The kind where dirty words can't accumulate The kind that you never Have to wipe clean CHORUS And if you don't know by now You'll never see the day CHORUS
