Rocking Horse

[Verse 1]

I've been shifting hands

I'm a rocking horse

I'm a grain of sand

On a cosmic course

I'm a circumstance

Baby take your chance

Don't you understand

It's a fleeting dance

It's a flash of light

It's an open hand

It's a power stance

It's the power of love

Take a load off man

That's what Levon said

Everything is as

It's supposed to be

Everything is as

It's supposed to be

It'll be alright

If you learn to be

[Chorus]

It's not what you know

That's not what's been holding you down

Taking back what you need

Pushing back what's been holding you down

It's the kindness you see

The kind that you give to yourself

And no one ever really tells you that

[Post-Chorus]

All the while

Spinning over and over and over and over again

All the while

Spinning over and over and over and over again

[Chorus]

It's not what you know

That's not what's been holding you down

Taking back what you need

Pushing back what's been holding you down

It's the kindness you see

The kind that you give to yourself

And no one ever really tells you that

[Verse 2]

I'm a shifting hand

I'm a rocking horse

I'm a grain of sand

On a cosmic course

I'm a circumstance

Baby take your chance

Don't you understand

It's a fleeting dance

It's a flash of light

It's an open hand

It's a power stance

It's the power of love

Everything is as

It's supposed to be

It'll be alright

If you learn to be

[Chorus]

'Cause it's not what you know

That's not what's been holding you down

Taking back what you need

Pushing back what's been holding you down

It's the kindness you see

The kind that you give to yourself

And if only somebody had told me that
