Say what you believe Woke up this morning, I was laid out flat on the dark side With the moon and the room on the wrong side I took a needle, sewn myself right back at the seams I saw my universal gleam I see the wonder of life and look for the wall Just taking a walk in the sun In time In just a second like the ghost of a bad idea I feel myself getting the fear C'mon Have we decided if we like being part of the plan? The sands are shifting and there’s nowhere to land It's on It doesn't matter if all the best tickets are sold And all the old stories are told I know You're gonna tell me that you hear every word I say But the future gets written today Yeah the future gets written today
