and i'm just the same as i always was

Fallin' from an orange tree

I watched the rest of me

Fly above the houses and the cars

Or maybe it was a silly dream

Patchwork quilt of memories

'Cause now I see I'm laying in the yard

And I'm just the same as I always was

Twenty years and I finally pause

My breath is still holding for applause

But I'm just starting at the sky

Will the light come out?

And clean the ground?

Rinse the dust that's gathered in the water spout

The kids all shout

Let me grow my flowers where I stand

I don't know what's coming after me

And I don't know the answer

But I wanna hold you all I can

Take a walk with me tomorrow

You can lead and I will follow

You from the beginning ‘til the end

And I'm just the same as I always was

Twenty years and I finally pause

My breath is still holding for applause

But I'm just staring at the sky

Oh, will the the light come out?

And clean the ground?

Rinse the dust that's gathered in the water spout

The kids all shout

Let me grow my flowers where I stand
