Lyrics
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
Now what can you tell them?
And what can you say that won't make them defensive?
I know there's answer
I know now, but I have to find it by myself
They come on like they're peaceful, but inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day and waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better?
I know there's an answer
I know now, but I have to find it by myself
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better?
I know there's an answer
I know now, but I have to find it by myself
