	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
