Not What You See

No life's so short it can't turn around

You can't spend your life living underground

For from above you don't hear a sound

And I'm out here, waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am

But I know that it's all that you see

No life's so short that it never learns

No flame so small that it never burns

No page so sure that it never turns

And I'm out here, waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am

But I know that it's all that you see

Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play?

Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around

Tell me if you win would it show - in a thousand years, who would know?

As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground

Can you live your life in a day (I've been waiting)

Putting every moment in play?

Never hear a word that they say (I don't understand what you want me to be)

As the wheels go around

Tell me if you win would it show (It's the dark you're hating)

In a thousand years, who would know?

As a million lives come and go (It's not who I am, but it is what you see)

On this same piece of ground

I've been waiting

I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating

It's not who I am, but it is what you see

Can you live your life in a day

Putting every moment in play?

Never hear a word that they say

As the wheels go around

Tell me if you win would it show

In a thousand years, who would know?

As a million lives come and go

On this same piece of ground

Tell me would you really want to

See me leave this night without you

Would you ever look about you

Wondering where we might be

New York is so far away now

Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow

Only dreams from here but somehow

One day that world we will see

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand

I don't understand...

I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance

Our lives are this moment, the music - the dance

And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries

I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see

You're all that I see
