Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see the world
Feel the chill
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the words
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
[Verse 2]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 3]
Oh, dear Dad
Can you see me now?
I am myself
Like you, somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
[Verse 4]
(Oh)
(Oh, I)
(Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 5]
Oh, dear Dad
Can you see me now?
I am myself
Like you, somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me
[Verse 6]
(Oh)
(Oh, I)
(Whoa-oh)
(I, ooh)
(Ooh)
