The picture's far too big to look at, kid
Your eyes won't open wide enough
You're constantly surrounded
By a swirling stream of was is and what was
Well, we've all made our predictions
But. the truth still isn't out
So if you wanna see the future
Go stare into a cloud
You keep trying to find your way out
Of this maze of memories
It all sort of looks familiar
Till' you get up close and it's different, clearly
But each time you turn a corner
You're right back where you were
And your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear
Is it your fear of being married
That makes you so afraid to speak?
An avalanche of opinions
Like the one that fell that I'm now underneath
It was my voice. that moved the first rock
And I would do it all again
So I mean it's cool if you keep quiet
But I like singing
So I'll be holding my note
Stomping and strumming
And feeling so very lucky
And there is nothing I know
Except these lifetimes when moments and wishing
It just leaves me empty
So you can try to live in darkness
But you will never shape the light
It will greet you every morning
Make you more aware of its absence at night
When you're wrapped up in your blanket, baby
The comfortable cocoon
But I've seen the day of your awakening, boy
It's coming soon
So go ahead and lose yourself in liquor
You can praise the clouded mind
But it isn't what you're thinking, no
It's the course of history, your position life
You're just a piece of the puzzle
I think you'd better find your place
And don't go blaming your knowledge on
Some fruit you ate
Cause there's been a great deal of discussion
About the properties of man
Animal or Angel
You were carved from bone
But your heart is just sand
And the wind, it's. gonna scatter it
And cover everything with love (oh)
So it makes you happy
Then keep kneeling, mama
But I'm standing up
Because this veil, it has been lifted
My eyes are wet with clarity
I've been a witness to your wonders
I've searched for them, all across this country
I think I'll be returning now
To the little town where I was born
I understand you must keep moving, friend
But I'm headed home
And I'm gonna follow the road
Let the scenery sweeping by easily enter my body
I'll send ya'll this message in code
Underground, over mountains
Through the forest, and deserts, and cities
All across the electric line, it's a baited line
The hook is in deep boys, there's no more time
So you can struggle in the water
Be too stubborn to die
Or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky
