    Lyrics
    INSIDE OUT (2002)
    (words/music: B. Walter)

    Well I'm looking at the world from the inside out
    And from anywhere I stand
    I can look up above and see the creatures move about
    In every distant land
    From the deserts to the mountains - I can see it all
    Every sunrise - every sunset
    Every hand, rise and fall
    And I’m thinkin’ ‘bout all of my all of my old school books
    They had it all laid out
    But I can’t help wonder what this new world looks like
    From the inside out

    I'm looking at the world from the bottom side up
    And deep down in the sea
    All the creatures of the ocean - living it up
    As graceful as can be
    From the beaches to the great abyss - I can see it all
    From anywhere I stand, I see
    Every creature - great and small
    I'm pulling out all of my old school books
    I turn them inside out
    To open my mind and see what we look like
    From the inside out

    BREAK
    And I'm standing in the middle, conspicuously
    Feeling like a puppet on a stage
    I try to break free but their laughing at me
    And they tug at my strings with their rage
    Still I suffer it out, anxiously
    But then I wake up – from this dream
    On this Thanksgiving Day I wonder
    What this looks like from down under
    As we’re sitting ‘round waiting for the turkey to cook
    And the butterball button to pop out
    I can’t help think how crazy we look, here
    From the inside out

    Now I’m stuck here on the outside of the world looking in
    And no one looking up at me
    Guitar in hand, but where to begin?
    So this whole world can see
    Where every mortal - great and small
    Can take a turn inside
    To see this planet with invisible walls
    With nowhere to hide
    You see I've thrown out all of my old school books
    And turned them inside out
    For the better it seems this new world looks
    From the inside out
