| What you look for on a dirty street
|
| Is a patch of green beneath your feet
|
| A stubborn weed or a traveling rose
|
| Either one lives to grow
|
| What you look for in a stranger’s eyes
|
| Is if he sees through your disguise
|
| How we long to be revealed
|
| To be known we might be healed
|
| Send it out into the Universe
|
| A humble plea, a wish, a broken verse
|
| Be a seed that lands inside the cracks
|
| Seek the sun and it shines back
|
| What you looked for when you were a girl
|
| Was a window out into the world
|
| From a speeding car or a passing train
|
| You were hypnotized just the same
|
| And what you look for now that you are grown
|
| Is proof of how time has flown
|
| An empty house, a strand of grey
|
| And an endless longing for yesterday
|
| Send it out into the Great Elsewhere
|
| A kind of hope, a chant, a simple prayer
|
| Be the child whose dreams won’t ever fade
|
| Shout and storm the barricades
|
| What you look for in your darkest hour
|
| Is a dirty street with just a flower…
|
| Send it out not knowing where it went
|
| Into the blue, into the firmament
|
| Be the one who wonders at it all
|
| Send it out into the Universe
|
| A humble plea, a wish, a broken verse
|
| Be a seed that lands inside the cracks
|
| Seek the sun and it shines back
|
| It shines back |
