Lyrics
Way back when, in the day, as they say, when I was just a little child.
My mother she said to me, "Son, the earth revolves around the sun."
How could I, how could I, not even be surprised?
When she became a little fierce, that I would not believe her words.
Who thought there'd be another side to, a breeze that's blowing blindly through the sails?
Who figured that we're so entitled to, all we want for all that I can say?
That was when, that was the exact moment when, my father kicked me down the stairs.
He said "son, don't believe a God. Just believe in what you got."
I replied, I had no choice but to reply " daddy, you've got it wrong."
What God's got is who I am. I am clay within His hands.
Who thought there'd be another side to, a breeze that's blowing blindly through the sails?
Who figured that we're so entitled to, all we want for all that I can say?
And I try (and I try), and I try (and I try), and I try, I try, I try not to be so blind
I grew up, as it were, to be sure... and I thought I'd try some love.
I thought it'd be a little fun. Boy, was I in for a run.
She said to me, when I'm on my bended knee, that I didn't fit the task.
Isn't that a little strange? I was searching out of my jurisdiction...
Who thought there'd be another side to, a breeze that's blowing blindly through the sails?
Who figured that we're so entitled to, all we want for all that I can say?
Who thought there'd be another side to, a breeze that's blowing blindly through the sails?
Who figured that we're so entitled to, all we want for all that I can say?
And I try (and I try), and I try (and I try), and I try, I try, I try not to be so blind.
