Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been
If I were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
Would it calm your trembling soul
Would it ease your every fear
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
And you shiver at the sight
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
Could one song solve all our problems
Could it have the strength to heal
Or would it cripple and destroy
And leave nothing unrevealed
Might it uproot every lie
And force us all to cower
Beneath its tremendous weight
In the wake of all its power
Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
And you shiver at the sight
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better
Don't you know that
you shiver at the sight
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight
If I were to write the song
That could somehow change the world
Would it be a calm surrender
Or a fight to the death?
Would it give something to live for
Would we give our final breath?
Would it be a roaring opera
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
Would it sound like all the others
Or would it sound something like this
