Lyrics
There's so much I've left unsaid,
Words keep spinning round inside my head.
Will I always feel this way?
Maybe I will get things straight one day.
Precious moments pass me by,
When you look me in the eye,
You and me communicate,
This is the time and place its not too late.
Contradiction of the heart,
Sometimes tearing me apart,
I believe in honesty,
But I don't know what's good for me,
What's good for me?
There's enough food on my plate,
I should be grateful for my privileged fate.
But there is poverty of soul,
All across the land of silver and gold.
Feel a sense of destiny right now,
Got to build a better world somehow.
You and me communicate,
This is the time and place it's not too late.
Repeat chorus.
Down to earth with an unexpected crash,
Just when you thought you were in control,
You stumble as you try to get up,
Nursing the wounds of your soul.
We all need a helping hand, yeah yeah.
Repeat chorus.
Someone help me, help me please,
I don't know what's good for me.
Repeat x4
Except maybe I do really.
