Do you care to know what
is inside of me,
when my secrets are mine and my own?
Is a heart filled with fear
such a sickening burden,
a crippling burden to bear?
I heard what was said,
whether right or wrong,
I measured each whisper
that leapt from your tongue.
Though it sounded like shout
ing to my head and to my heart
I was too busy moving to care
But if there's a light shining
a point away there
Same way of walking, be like an arrow
If that's the line I'm crossing,
try to be better
Try to be better for me
Soil, brackish water, thorn and the vine
To be callous or warm are both honest
and I'll become the fake flower,
the sickeningly sweet wine,
the smile that never touches the eyes.
But if there's a light shining,
point the way there.
Straightway
I'm walking, I'll be like an arrow
If there's a line I'm crossing,
I'll try to be better
For the light shining,
pointing me there
Straightway
I'm walking, and I am an arrow
And that's the line I'm crossing
I'll try to be there
I'll try to be there
