Lyrics
What you’ve got I’d like to see
Open your hands, tell me your story
Where did you find that stone you’re holding?
A stone for touching or for throwing?
I’d like to peer inside your head
Or maybe you could just tell me
I’d like to peer inside your head
Or maybe you could just tell me
Don't surrender to the sadness
say the words you can’t leave out
for a future we can write about
I'm always trying to get away with it
Bury my fears and hide my shame
Where’d the power go?
All the lights are out
And this rage is sprouting up
and we keep on losing love
with no vision for the future
we are tearing the present down
I’d like to peer inside your head
Or maybe you could just tell me
I’d like to peer inside your head
Or maybe you could just tell me
Don't surrender to the sadness
say the words you can’t leave out
for a future we can write about
Like a bird
Go fast, land softly
Through the winter
Lay your head down, lay your head down on me
And we’re leaving all this madness
open up and look around
the change is quite profound
Don't surrender to the sadness
say the words you can’t leave out
for a future we can write about
Don't surrender to the sadness
The madness
Say the words you can’t leave out
Oh the words you can't leave out
for a future we can write about
