Human Race

(专辑： The Change I'm Seeking - 2012)

I need a hat to hide under
I need some shoes to fill
I need a coat to curl up in so I can dream again
And a broken watch so that I can just stand still
Cause this whole world is going crazy
I just can't find my place
I got no scheme to come up with
No time to keep up with this rat race
I just wanna make this world a better place
For everyone
Don't wanna run in the human race

It doesn't take a lot to get me high
These days seems my troubles just pass me by
Its like I'm walking up on a cloud
Always thinking out loud
Its like I'm speaking and a song is coming out
So I bend right down just to tie my shoes
Down on the pavement its so hard to keep from getting the blues
But I keep on trodding on
Singing a triumphant song
Giving love cause I got nothing to lose

Days pass by
People come
And people fly
In and out the door
I'm learning more with each experience
My heart grows and my blood flows
I'm feeling lighter and lighter
Like a feather
I'm burning brighter like the sun
And I think I like what I have become

So I
I'm gonna just sit back relax
And let the river flow take me where its gonna go

And I
I'm gonna be just like a leaf
And let the gentle breeze
Take me wherever it pleases

It takes quite a lot to keep me low
When all around me life surrounds me like a magic show
I can't imagine being bored when there's so much left to know
I'll never stop learning cause there's always room to grow
So I been walking round these city streets
So much derision and division
Everyone playing for keeps
Every time somebody screws up an angry car horn beeps
Round every corner a crooked policeman creeps

But did you know there's a better place where we can go
A beautiful land full of helping hands
You can make a mistake and no one gives a damn
And no one makes your plans
Or feeds you fantasy
Or tells you what to be
I call this new land reality

So I
I'm gonna just sit back relax
And let the river flow take me where its gonna go

And I
I'm gonna be just like a leaf
And let the gentle breeze
Take me wherever it pleases

Cause I'm not looking for no trouble
I just wanna double my fun
Spend all my days in the sun
And I know nothing lasts forever
So any kind of weather is fine
And we'll have a good time

And if the words don't rhyme it doesn't matter
Cause no ones keeping score
And on that you can be sure
That if the words we choose never quite fit us right
We'll make a language we like
And it'll sound something like...

And I know I like what I have become
And I'm gonna shine this light I've found on everyone
Come my brothers
Come my sisters
Come on outside
Let's go have some fun

So I
I'm gonna just sit back relax
And let the river flow take me where its gonna go

And I
I'm gonna be just like a leaf
And let the gentle breeze
Take me wherever it pleases

I need a hat to hide under
I need some shoes to fill
I need a coat to curl up in so I can dream again
And a broken watch so that I can just stand still
Cause this whole world is going crazy
I just can't find my place
I got no scheme to come up with
No time to keep up with this rat race
I just wanna make this world a better place
For everyone
Don't wanna run in the human race
