Lyrics
When I woke up today
I had all that I want
Everything that I did
Brought desired results
But, of course, I am wrong
How could I understand?
When my society
Tells me how to stand
How could this be?
All the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned
I am swimming again
Then I take it inside
I wait for life’s kiss
I’m sure to arrive
For I’m riding my bliss
What did I do? The world holds me up!
Invisible hands grant a nourishing cup
Have I found a way that has always been there?
For it seems to me it came out of thin air
The child waking up
Brings the old crone to tears
Pushing through my disguise
See the tips of my ears
How could this be?
All the rules have been changed
In the pool where I drowned
I am swimming again
When I blindly reached out
To what I cannot see
Grace reappears
And she rescues
I’m not what I feel
I’m not what you think
I’m only what is
And what isn’t in sync
