lyrics
I, I can feel behind the moon I can reach into the night
Come back with colors you never knew were there
I, I can hear beyond the sea I can listen through the waves
Return with secrets hidden on ocean air
But somehow I’m expected to apologize for how I am
Expected to make changes to my outlook and demeanor
I, I can stand beneath the sun Drinking in the desert heat
Flowing oasis glowing of golden sand
I, I can rule beneath the trees Order an empire of ivy and leaves
Compose a jungle with a single command
But somehow I’m expected to apologize for how I am
Expected to make changes to my outlook and demeanor
A pensive mind could turn the hearts of kings to reconsider
Still you twiddle clumsy thumbs and lust the grass that’s always greener
I, I can taste the morning dew, Know if the day will begin anew
Speak to the rain and tell it to feed the soil
I have a universe in my head
Kingdoms awoken from words I’ve said
Gilded in tea leaves and aluminum foil
