I keep getting caught looking around
It's always the same, things lost and things found
Sinners and winners, who can they be
Look out at the masses, what do you see

Stuck-up and afraid, life's not a hit
Well life's never easy, but don't believe it
Choices are simple, what's good or what's bad
What's hard or what's easy, what's angry what's glad

We knew something then, more or less now
Our views and opinions tossed up by a plow
That seeks to prepare us, what little is there
For a chance at redemption, it seems only fair

Chances are that we'll make it, we can see by the light
That shines like the sun in mysterious flight
To show us a glimpse of what we can be
If strong then we'll take it or go weak in the knees

Azure pond at dusk I'm blue, captures my soul it shines through
A mallard drake and hen take flight, same old story always new
Light fades soft and slow into the night
Gold and crimson paint the clouds on high

In beauty it is finished, in beauty it is begun
In beauty it is finished, in beauty it is begun

Silver aspens hold a key, let me go now comfort me
Wind picks up their sweet, sweet song, once was bound is always free
When I listen I can hear it say
Pay attention there's no other way

(repeat)

Violet sunrise to scarlet blue, grasses glisten with the morning dew
Daylight pulls me from the night, shows me what I always knew
Heart now opens up to let you in
Been so long, my what a time it's been

(repeat)

I'll paint you a picture when dreams collide
Two trains careening on a roller coaster ride
Balloons and candy, flowers in a vase
Masks to the world hiding our true face, and
Everything is just how it is a tear running and a goodbye kiss
How can this be bliss

We all want to know
we all want to know
we all want to know...love
We all want to know
we all want to know
we all want to know...love

Fussing and fighting over echoes past
Regretting a future that did not last
The ball bounces to the words you said
As a band plays a tune in my head, and
Everything is a passing show for the benefit of I want to know
Hanging on and letting go

(repeat)

Who's got the best hand, who's got the worst
Let's not battle over who said what first
To linger forever over this mess
Is a foolish game I confess, and
Blaming names is a waste of time, blind man's bluff, drawing lines
Leave it all behind

(repeat)

I wake in the morning mapped lines on my face
Bags under my eyes hold dreams erased
A gather for a moment a brand new day
A splash of water and I'm on my way, and
Everything is just how it is, does it mean that, does it mean this
For I don't want to miss

(repeat)

To climb a mountain, well it's all I hope to attain
Yes, I'll climb a mountain for it's surely where I want to be
Yes, it's surely where I want to be

To run through the tall grass surrounded by boundless abandon
Yes, I'll run through the tall grass for it's surely where I want to be
Yes, it's surely where I want to be

But these gray walls just stare me down
And my whole world it grows cold
Worn ruts on familiar ground for the time that I sold

To lie by the river with songs my soul has delivered
Yes, I'll lie by the river for it's surely where I want to be
Yes, it's surely where I want to be

To sleep in your warm arms, we brace each other each and every storm
Yes, I'll sleep in your warm arms for it's surely where I want to be
Yes, it's surely where I want to be
Yes, it's surely where I want to be
For it's surely where I want to be
