They're sounding alarms and you're tuning them out
As background noise to forget
Where there's already structure, you're tearing it down
Until there's no more trace of it
You always get me with those starry eyes
It's just as you prophesied
Come on and show me a hint of morning light
And forget all that we left behind
You follow your heart and you speak your truth
In a way I was always hesitant
What you give away comes right back to you
And your love of the whole world is evident
[Chorus]
No reason to doubt when the story is your own
And you're making it up as you go
A wave of your hand, you command the unknown
You raise to the surface what was below
