Lyrics
What do you see? What do you intend to say to me?
And does it depend? Will you work? Will you even try?
Concentrate. Go into your mind.
Do you see? Do you intend to say to me,
Will you defend the way you work, do you even try?
Concentrate, come out of your mind
And did they promise to fulfill you? The truth is they will only kill you
Make you weaker, pull you under, but you roll like thunder
Over the mountain and under the sea
‘Cause you are the mountain and you are the sea
And you don’t know why you’re walking around
But you know you’ve gone a hundred miles
Uphill both ways, in a dull daze
So let me tell you who you are
One part diamond, two parts star
A drop in the ocean came out of the sea
Stood on the land and shouted
Hey, listen to me!
And you don’t know what I’m talking about
But you know I got a crooked smile
And it cuts both ways, more than most days baby
So let me show you where you are
Did you think you’d come this far?
What do you see? Do you intend to say to me, you’re only a friend
But we can work, and we can try
Spread your wings and fly
I can’t promise to fulfull you
The truth is I can only thrill you
Take you further, over yonder, and in case you wonder…
Let me show you who you are
I’m your stardust, you’re my star
And there’s a light that guides you home
So no one ever dies alone
Suffering is not something out there
Suffering is something within us
And when you want to get away
The path to peace will light your way
And there’s nothing more left to say….
