What if I could tell the world I see you? What if I could make them understand? And if I could show those fools they need you It wouldn't change the fact that you need them
And if you find yourself in great transition And you think perhaps you lost your way On the edge and fragile, your position Then there's only one thing I can say
Welcome home Yeah, 'cause it's your home
If a tree falls and nobody's listening If a party's thrown and no one shows And you dream about what you are missing When the wind in February blows
Welcome home 'Cause it's your home
If you hide amongst the darkness Let me offer you a light And if you stay, by the light of day Fearful when the sun goes down Come out with me tonight
What if I could make the world beseech you? What if I could make you understand? That from the highest branch no one could reach you But should the bough break, you can take my hand
(Looking for the signs that April's coming) I know that really letting go In spite of falling to and fro It's not no simple thing Not no ordinary stunt to try
(Can hurt worse than any ache you feel) But I can see it's on your mind And whatever you will find Whatever hope will bring I can see it in your eye
(Forcing words into that tune you're humming) Will bring release Perhaps a modicum of peace Perchance to dream Perchance to bust out at the seam
(Which did I make up and which were real?) And the mere chance Sustains as bravely I advance But it don't matter what I do Without someone to bring it to
Welcome home, come home Make it home, go home Leave home, find a home Build a home and feel at home 'Cause it's your home
Tell me your will and it shall be done Because you need a disciple and I am one And I believe because I do Before I learned a thing, I knew you A disciple's role is hard because Though he may never know for sure
He gives his faith and risks the danger But then he's not alone anymore But tell me please, I am down upon my knees When they assign you rules Is this wisdom made for fools You're with me when I start to play
I will gladly pray if you preferred If given the sacred word 'Till then I'll keep loving you in the way I do when I see your face in her, then I know for sure For every miracle that you have made me
She's the one that makes them real I have to love what is beyond me I'll never learn as much as I feel But for a time I can understand When she and I, I am at your command You're with me when I start to play
I will gladly pray if you preferred If given the sacred word 'Till then I'll keep loving you in the way I do when I see your face in her then I know for sure
By every faith that I've invested By every lightning bolt and scar By every name that you've been contested You are the sum of what we are
When she's with me, we both can see And the world is love, I can't drink in enough You're with me when I start to play
I will gladly pray if you preferred You give me the sacred word 'Till then I'll keep loving you in the way I do when I see your face in her then I know for sure You're with me when I start to play
I will gladly pray if you preferred You give me the sacred word 'Till then I'll keep loving you in the way I do when I see your face in her then I know for sure Tell me you have again, she's a miracle, Amen
Move on And shuffle off Winter's gift is a burning cough
Once a stranger Always a friend To the cold and the odd stare And the danger Should he ever open his mouth
And so he bides his time Yes, he bides his time Yes, he bides his time
Some day he thinks he may fool everyone And they'll give and let him live in the bright hot sun
And so he bides his time Yes, he bides his time Yes, he bides his time
Doorways and hope keep him warm Strangely calm before the storm Quite sure that he will be free To speak of voices he can't quite see They tell him more than he'd ever wished to know
And so he bides his time Yes, he bides his time Yes, he bides his time
And when the bugle sound Knocks the mountains down His work will be done Whispers in his ear he keeps him clear For the angels when they come
So he bides his time Yes, he bides his time Yes, he bides his time
Till he assumes his place Then he'll see the face of God, of God The ruthless King of Kings Who keeps telling him things That still seem odd
So he bides his time Yes, he bides his time Move on
If you were Audrey Hepburn And gracefully you set about your scene And the moral of the story Successfully adapted to the screen
Would it make any difference Could I be in your movie somehow Will I have to wait till then If not when, how about now
Well if I could conjure demons To let you know how desperately I feel Or entice you with my deepest hope That your love for me was real
I don't need some kind of story I don't need to take a bow I just need to ask you once again If not when, how about now
How about now How about now How about now
Maybe you could look at me and see the questions All the times I swore your eyes had answered me Keep me wondering what it would be like And if your wildest dreams came true
Yeah, if you finally got your way Is there anything that I could do You see I want to play an active role And I could give you my solemn vow If your story needs a happy end If not when, how about now
How about now How about now How about now How about now How about now
Goodbye to you, goodbye I'll never love anyone more I may never love at all anymore But if I could let you go
Then I have loved you well And I mean to love you the best that I can With all that I am, so go With everything I am, so go
Have I loved so well, I can't really tell? But if you can't love for free The second star to the right you don't see Hail and farewell to thee 'Cause you can try but you can't love me
I hope that you'll remember why I hope that you'll remember me Meet me in subconscious memory But if I could let you know
I don't think it's so bad I just don't know how to and I don't want to leave I've made too much believe to go I've made far too much believe to go
I don't think it's so bad but still it makes me sad But if you can't love for free The second star to the right you don't see Hail and farewell to thee You can try but you can't love me
I don't think it's so bad but still it makes me sad But if you can't love for free And the second star to the right you don't see Hail and farewell to thee 'Cause you can try but you can't love me
And if you can't love for free And the second star to the right you don't see Hail and farewell to thee 'Cause you can try but it just won't be
You can try, but you'll never see You can try to be hopeful You can try to think you're free But if you're trying then you can't love me
Before you stands the man you see But that man don't mean shit to me Nothing more than a parody Just peeking over a steep wall to see
And he's in love with his own ideas Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas Good and evil just a way to choose And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose He's in love with his own ideas
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Leap the candle, pull off your trick He burns himself up upon the wick The lesson learned, but it just won't stick
And he's in love with his own ideas Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas Good and evil just a way to choose And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose He's in love With his own ideas
The cloth is sharp and it cuts both ways Goes off whenever a banjo plays The sinner rejoice as the wise man prays Two groups of alley cats taking in strays And each in love With his own ideas
Before you beats a fearful heart Fearful you'll tear it apart But don't you rush and now don't you start 'Cause he's a little bit shy and a little bit smart
And he's in love with his own ideas Yeah, he's in love with his own ideas Good and evil just a way to choose And some he'll remember and some others he'll lose He's in love with his own ideas
I am corruptible by name And I basically know how to master any simple game And I shall twist in the wind And like a blade of grass I'll survive and I'll win
And grow in dirt And it can hurt To grow in dirt Sometimes it hurts
I nourish by my labor and pain I burn up in the sun and I drown in the rain And I'm told that its good to grow But its not like there's a choice Because didn't you know
We grow in dirt And it can hurt To grow in dirt Sometimes it hurts
By every reprieve that I choose to believe With every code that I stand by I'm just a man with a stick in my hand And I helplessly jab at the sky Its my nature to try Helps the time pass by
And I have this real need to talk loud For I'm so meek and humble It makes me arrogant and proud And I won't be afraid to die For I shall live forever And here's my reason why
I grow in dirt And its gonna hurt To grow in dirt Sometimes it hurts To grow in dirt Sometimes it hurts
And what about the times Now I'm grabbing out at breaking glass An attempt to find a memory That makes it seem glorious or at least okay
But all I have is me In a razor caught off guard as you brush by The alarm wakes me out of bed And the dream I was just having simply fades away
And blindly do I see At the sunlight I am freezing And as I start to come around, I want to fall back to the ground Roll over and make sense again
But it's too late I am awake And it's sensation, I can't fake as I try my best to pretend But once you wake up You just can't fall back asleep anymore
I know it isn't fair But once you're aware You can back track all you want You can mourn for what's gone But you're up either way You better deal with your day
I remember I was tired In fact I still have some sleep in my eyes So I got all warm and safe and numb Figured I'd lie down and rest a while
Next thing came the morning And you're shaking me and telling me to rise And I would tell you anything To stall and make you think or smile or cry
You see all I need is you And then I start to understand what love does Now there's so much that I can give And I finally want to live
You know before I just didn't really ever care And I'll do more than hold on I want to celebrate the dawn I don't ever want to go back to sleep I swear But once you wake up You can't just fall back to sleep anymore
I know it isn't fair But once you're aware You can backtrack all you want You can mourn for what's gone But you're up either way You better deal with your day
