When I say
I wanna know you
Think of all the things
I wanna show you
You strip away the lies, okay
That fall around me
Breathing life into the day
Your love surrounds me

Riding on a steel rail
Twisting past oblivion
You bend before the wind so frail
Givin' me the strength to live again

There's a simple song you sing
I wanna hear it
We're headin' out for better days
Now, don't you fear it

Life is not a game you play
The rules aren't black and white
Rising from oblivion
Do not go gentle into that good night

When I say
I wanna know you
Think of all the things
I wanna show you
You strip away the lies, okay
That fall around me
Breathing life into the day
Your love surrounds me

Like a pebble on the beach
Unto a grain of sand
Thrown and sown just out of reach
Moving freely in his hand
All of us come clean, you know
There, at journey's end
Waitin' for the wave to flow
Waitin' for a sign to start again

Hey, hey
