Saw you from the distance,Saw you from the stage,Something ’bout the look in your eyes,Something ’bout your beautiful face,In a sea of people,There was only you,I never knew what this song was about,But suddenly now I do,
Hey, Mmmm,
Well I don’t know how to say this right,And the words got me choking,I keep hitting this wall,It’s never gonna fall,And we’re still broken,This mountain we’ve been trying to climb,It’s never ending,Just can’t do nothing, gotta do something,Cause if we don’t open up our eyes,We’re just pretending,
Accidentally, on purposeI dropped my watch behind the tireThrew my alarm clock inside the fireplaceYeah, and I put the parental control on,On the news and the weather channelI’m outside in my robe I’m looking for you, oh
Oooooh ohhhhhOooooh ohhhhh
I hung up the phone tonightSomething happened for the first time deep insideAnd there’s a rush, what a rush (what a rush)
Think of me, think of me fondlywhen we’ve said goodbyeRemember me once in a whileplease promise me you’ll tryWhen you find that, once again, you longto take your heart back and be freeif you ever find a momentspare a thought for me
Mother, can you hear me for the first time I seeborn into eyes not by my own decisiontake me away from a life with no visionstep down from the subway, climb the staircase to the streetspinning in circles and holding on tight to this moment foreverif only tonight
Many nights we’ve prayedWith no proof anyone could hearIn our hearts a hopeful songWe barely understoodNow we are not afraidAlthough we know there’s much to fearWe were moving mountainsLong before we knew we could
I can’t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I’m growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
You ought to go north somebody told usCause the air is filled with gold dustAnd fortune falls like snow flakes in your handsNow I don’t recall who said itBut we’d lived so long on creditAnd so we headed out to find our promised land
