What You Look For |
| 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 |
