I don't wanna be everything you see, I just want you to love what it means.
I'll stay with my dreams, as you're rolling down the stream. Ain't it something not to have enemies?
(chorus)
Would you advise them not to speak?
I could only hope to rid you of these.
Does it matter if all your goals aren't reached?
Well, I'd love to know that you are free.
Paintings on the wall lighten up these halls. Knowing' you, it's not what it seems.
Simple melodies will hold your heart if these verses don't do the trick, I will cease.
