I bury my head in the sand As occurrences pass me by But the fluttering ostrich feathers around Don't expose the fact, they belie It's a prejudice that I hide From a truth too heavy in hand I'm actually searching for answers That might hide in the sand So I bury my head in the sand And I keep it there for a while At the end of the day I might understand Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile I search inside the swallowed pride Eyes open wide I'm facing reality What is to be remains to see I will not hide I'm facing reality Perhaps I'm in a stun Escaping the nuisance call Perhaps I'm a craven who cut and run Avoiding the writing on the wall But if the answer is far beyond All we've been considering Then I'll have to look places out of line Unattaching the shortcoming strings So I bury my head in the sand And I keep it there for a while At the end of the day I might understand Why there's plenty of sand in my teeth when I smile I search inside the swallowed pride Eyes open wide I'm facing reality What is to be remains to see I will not hide I'm facing reality I search inside the swallowed pride Eyes open wide I'm facing reality What is to be remains to see I will not hide I'm facing reality
