Feb 2nd 2010 08:29 pm I sing
If there ain’t no answer then maybe there’s a question
Why I wind up with a certain indigestion
Was there something you forgot to mention
About your true intention?
Well I am another you so I myself know what is true
There’s only one thing left to do, let me be me and you be you
And pray we find a way for us both to get through
And turn these gray skies to blue
All the names and all of the faces
All the minor fall from graces
And the major, shyness toward a stranger
Was there really a danger?
All the games in all of the places
All the cards that weren’t aces
Or that were, and I didn’t wager
I was trying to cage her
From the ashes the phoenix rises
Out of the muck the lotus springs
From the peeled back disguises
Out of bondage freedom rings
And I sing, and I sing, and I sing…
