The world is spinning inside out And we don't even notice now how Everything around us falls apart Living by the rules they set That no one even told you yet You're lost but everybody else seems fine But with a turn of tide You know the universe is on your side And there is something there That will hear your prayer Rise and fall with no regret For giving more than what you get Holding on a dream that will not die Throw away the seeds of sorrow Maybe they will bloom tomorrow Watered on the tears of yesterday But there's a little flame that burns inside Though it's frail and shy You know the embers glow Though the cold winds blow Sitting by a rolling shore Wishing there for so much more Just waiting for your life to pass you by Talking with the birds and trees Keeping yourself company and Telling all your stories to the wind Maybe suddenly you'll wake and find All around you is your paradise That was always there Was it always there?
