The Thing

Can you, please, tell me the tale of this feeling

That expands the heart, brings out the sparkle in the eyes

The one that makes you wanna kill or be a martyr

I heard it hurts, I saw it torture

I heard it heals, I saw it save

The fire in your eyes, it glows like a thousand stars

But I, oh I, can't see them

I've never felt, not in a million years

This thing, a shadow still lingers

On your lips, you uttered the word

But I, oh I, can't see the meaning

Can you, please, tell me the truth, am I not human?

That firmament, the diamonds in the sky

The sunlight, the song of freedom

That echoes through the temple of simple desire

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I've read so many books but I still don't understand

What this feeling is, it makes me wanna cry or wanna jump

I can't grasp the meaning, what this thing's for

Cause I heard it hurts, I saw it torture

I heard it heals, I saw it save

The fire in your eyes is hot like a thousand suns

But I still feel myself shiver

I've never felt, not in a million years

This thing, a shadow still lingers

On your lips, you uttered the word

But I, oh I, can't see the meaning

Can you, please, tell me the truth, am I not human?

That firmament, the diamonds in the sky

The sunlight, the song of freedom

That echoes through the temple of simple desire

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?

I can barely touch it, it slips away

So I ask you, please, tell me, what's the hidden truth?
