The country is riddled with social ills & aches
But my heart is calmed by her embrace
I'm trying to tell something to the world
- But my words are slurred & slow
Have you ever been caught up in a dream
Where your legs were froze

I was left alone, with my thoughts and my guitar
But it felt hopeless
Like the desire of the moth - for the star

Sometimes... nothing seems unreal
This strange little boy said
"Mister, play us your guitar" & I said -
"No... I can't"
& put my geetar, in the car-
Listening to the music of heaven & earth
Have you ever thought you were the
- Most important thing in the universe

I didn't know whether to strengthen my
Weaknesses - or play to my strengths
Yeah...
I was trapped in the triviality of
- everydayness
I said
"There's magic in my head, girl
But I only use it when I'm depressed"
I don't suppose she heard me
She was too busy admiring her dress
I said - just young - & - well intentioned
Who can save us now
- the world rots...
I did know the secret of the universe
... only I forgot!!
