Once upon a time, I tried to get myself together
Be more like the sky and welcome every kind of weather
Be more eagle-like and find the flight in every feather
Once upon a time, but I'm still trying to get better
Maybe I'm just crazy
I should just be a brick in the wall
Sit and watch the TV
Blame everyone else for it all
But I'm trying to trust in the Heavens above
And I'm trying to trust in a world full of love
Fire and water
And constantly dream
Of the balance of things
And the music between
If there's anyone out there, I'm close to the end
If there's anyone out there, I just need a friend
