I'm taking a break becuase I'm loosing it again,
And I wanna relate without them thinking I'm insane,
Oh it's the same, another train, just sitting around with a record in my brain and-
Could have everything you wanted but you would be still be wanting more,
Cos the sun is always in your eyes,
You search for stillness on a rock that's spinning around and round and your suprised...

Just sit back and let it flow,
Then I've found I've broken through,
To the light again.

And everytime I find I'm thinking about things I want,
And that is the time I have nothing to sing,
Everytime I find I'm thinking about things that don't matter,
That is the time I see everything,
I want to know Lord, why it's got to be so hard,
When I know Lord, why it's got to be so hard,
Feel like a muppet with a drunken puppeteer but I'll survive, I will survive.
