Look

I had it tough when I was just a little kid
It didn't matter what I thought it didn't matter what I did
I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start
It did a number on my head but it could never touch my heart

Cause I had just enough imagination
Just enough to keep the faith
That somehow I would think of what to do
When I'd get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
All the angels came along to help me through

Life pulls fast changes
Wind blows past pages
All I see is, I don't need this
Highstrung tight rope walks
Ticking time bomb clocks
Scratch my name off, cut these chains

I'm free...Kicking out of that prison
I'm free...Singing those words of wisdom
Let it be...Nobody's gonna put the blues inside of me..

And in the stress to be the best I've done it all
I've slammed the doors I've jammed the locks
Laid the bricks, I've built the walls
No one could tell me back then why joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery locked up deep down inside of me

Took that rage and I
Turned that page and I
Packed my tools, went back to school
And I've passed my graduation
I hold my Ph. D. in crash test blues
I've paid those dues

I'm free...
Repeat Chorus

Time flied by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here I stand in ruby slippers
Three taps takes me home...I'm free...

Will and Liz
Headed down the road to bliss
Just a couple of crazy kids
Callin' it love

Sex, drugs, lies
Another day in paradise
So wonderful they don't think twice
Callin' it love

Fairytales so happy never ending
Pretending
All you really need in life is love
What were they thinking of
Whatever it is it was
Never enough....

Two lost souls
Turning into two black holes
Offer up the last red rose
Into the fire

Chorus

Will and Liz
Just a couple of crazy kids
Callin' it love

She says she hates me- and not to call
She's used her pain to build a concrete wall
She's rolled her angry words into a fist
But that's not who she is
That's not who she is

I slammed the phone down hard and walked outside
I wrote her off that day as if she'd died
Said if she burns in hell, well I won't give a damn
But that's not who I am,
That's not who I am

Lost behind the masks we wear
The barbed wire fences of our fear
We drag each other through these tears
And strike the wounds that scar
But that's not who we are
That's not who we are

Someday I'll hold her, for this I pray
That time and grace will roll the stone away
And we'll love each other with open hearts
Just for who we are
Just for who we are

A mother who gave all she could
A child who tried to just be good
In father brother sisterhood
We reach and fall so far
Like dust of ancient stars
That's just who we are
Dust of ancient stars
That's just who we are

There are songs I love that catch my breath
When the first chord starts to play
Effortless and true, it's funny but I knew
You would always touch my heart that way

And it hurts so much to let you go
And there are no words to say
But the corner of your smile says all I need to know
You could always touch my heart that way

Sail on my love, life is only a blink in time
Go on and show all those stars what it means to shine

Like a fire that spins inside a spark
As the ashes cool to grey
Kicked up by the wind, dancing through the dark
You will always touch my heart that way

Instrumental

Sail on my sweet love, this world is a blink in time
Go on and show all those stars what it means to shine

And I know your love is here with me
I can feel you every day
Even if the beauty of your face I cannot see
Only you could touch my heart that way
You can always touch my heart that way

Love, it's true that when it comes to you
I've tried to keep my two feet on the ground
My, it's strange how quickly life can change
You've got my nights and days all turned around

Waited for it...sweet surrender
Waited for it...endless charm
Waited for it...every moment spent in your arms

Sends me right back into the feeling
When the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love

Love I've lost came at so high a cost
Thought I'll be better off just on my own
Then we kissed and all the fun I'd missed
Felt like a thousand ships turning for home

Waited for it...I'd almost given up
Waited for it...believing you would come
Waited for it...everytime I think I should run

You send me right back into the feeling
Where the world melts under your touch
And you toss my heart through the ceiling
No reason not to fall in love

I try to think about the consequences
Second guessing with a backward glance
But my brain doesn't stand a chance
Chained to the crazy dreams my heart has

Repeat Chorus
