Whenever I, I close my eyes
Then I don't mind being the way I am
But whenever I try explaining why
I know I never canNow that it's
Gone, paths I used to travel
Gone, things I used to handle
Gone, once I had a choice what to beBut then God kissed me
And I lost it when I fainted in his arms
Have pity on me brother, I'm trapped behind the mirror
I'm out here on the borderWondering why, why was it I?
Maybe my mind wouldn't have come this way
If I'd taken my time, answers only unwind
When you can't look awayMaybe 'cause
I want the secret broken
I want the casket open
I need to see what no eyes can seeAnd when God kissed me
Then I dreamed them when I fainted in her arms
Now I've got to go on sleeping
Lean in a little closer and I'll tell you what I'm dreaming
I'll tell you what I'm dreamingI see time without beginning
Space without an ending
I see bodies strong and running
With minds not comprehendingHave pity on your brother
Please have pity on your sister
Take pity on each other
And on every living creature, have pity somebodyWhenever I open my eyes, I can't believe it's real
It's a jungle outside, yes it is, yes it is
People just survive
They can't reach the high idealBut I know if I can't recover
At least I know, I know the book from cover to cover
And who knows? I might dream forever
Since I've met the world's greatest loverWhen God kissed me
And I knew it when I fainted in his arms
Let's dream together peopleHave pity on your brother
Have pity on your sister, please
Take pity on each other
And on every living creatureWe're all trapped behind the mirror
Out here on the border, yes we are
Please have pityPity on your brother
Pity on your sister
Pity on each other
Every living creature
