Starry nights were passing With beauty losing meaning She told me all the troubles on her mind She said, "How can we survive, Without a laugh for miles?" And so I gave her mine and told all I know You gave me green In a world without color You gave me rain In the driest of summer She said, "How long must you wait for the storm To clear out from the road so you can see?" But the sun will never shine If you don't take the time To look around and find it inside of you You gave me green In a world without color You gave me rain In the driest of summer From the mountains To the ocean Sound will find you And give you motion From the mountains To the ocean Sound will find you And give you motion From the hills, to the sea A moving source of energy To the heart of gold, of fame, of happiness I raise a fist for loneliness If you see what I see You will have the strength to find the key To get lost in a flame It's much different than you claim to know You'll know, you will know, yeah How can we survive Without a laugh for miles?
