What you sweepin' up all the time Find a nickel spend a dime Are you trying to sweep the world's worries away Keep the crumbs and the scum at bay Sweep up disaster Sweep up hate Then you can sweep up the bastard Who locked that gate But you might sweep up serendipity You might sweep up fate You could be sweepin' for a very long time I said speaking of sweepin' I said speaking of sweepin' I'm gonna let that broom go For awhile So proud and sure of your noble cause Sweepin' up them intransigent flaws But what would happen if you looked the other way With your eyes wide open to the brighter side of day Well you'd be looking at sunshine Looking at clouds Everything so big and quiet Your breath seems loud and All that crumbles at your feet Stumbles and trips while you breathe deep I said speaking of sweepin' I said speaking of sweepin' I'm gonna let that broom go For awhile Let go that broom let go that guilt In that shiny claustrophobic house you've built Let go look up exhale step out Or you'll be sweepin' all the time I said speaking of sweepin' I said speaking of sweepin' I'm gonna let that broom go For awhile Tilt your head back loose Let the stars outshine the abuse Give your head a shake Make your heart some room Or you'll be sweepin' all the time
