Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We are on a rock, spinnin' silently

But I'm safe when you're here with me

These questions I'm askin', they've been hauntin' me

I need some security, can't you see?

[Verse 2]

Her love was like a fountain, rushin' and pourin' down

The darkness is puttin' out the light in me

She's a well to be dug, she's a university

A cosmic library, wait and see

[Verse 3]

We are on a rock, spinnin' silently

Won't you get close to me?

We are on a rock, spinnin' in infinity

Won't you get close to me?

[Verse 4]

Is it my genes that have made me?

Is it the things I took?

Is it the things I said?

Does karma rule?

[Verse 5]

Well if there's a God, well, can you hear me now?

I am cryin' out, hopin' you know

And in my baby's arms, I need no faith

I need no words to define myself

And when I'm holdin' you, light rushin' through

I wanna make it now, safe and straight, yeah

[Verse 6]

We are on a rock, spinnin' silently

Baby, get a hold of me

We are on a rock, spinnin' in infinity

Baby, consolin' me

[Verse 7]

Oh, I don't know when the fear's gonna end

I don't know if my prayers are received, the ones I send

(We are on a rock, spinnin' silently)

I can't live in pain and fear

(We are on a rock, spinnin' in infinity)

Oh, I see so much joy, and it makes me scared

(We are on a rock, spinnin' silently)

Oh, I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end

(We are on a rock, spinnin' in infinity)

Oh, I guess it ain't of faith for you to pray for peace

(We are on a rock, spinnin' infinity)

Oh, baby I don't know where I'm going

All I know is that I need you as a friend

Oh, baby I don't know where I'm going

All I know is that I need you as a friend
