Taking all the time that you want to decide,
‘Coz if you know it then just say it,
It won’t take as long as if you hide,
‘Coz every time it come to the bit,
Emotion verses logic and circles keep closing on it,
Maybe the time has come now,
Surely it’s better, somehow?
It’s almost out of my hands,
It’s almost out of my head,
So hear me say it now….
If I could ever see this,
In all these colours again,
I would.
Oh, yes you know I would,
It’s always been in my head,
I can’t seem to stop or get rid of it,
Now it’s time to change,
Take apart and rearrange,
And invest in inside,
‘Coz it’s not too late,
You can lift that weight if you try,
And so it seems we face a choice,
And you can softly feel the voice,
Smoothing circles round and round,
We’re spinning round and round,
And if I could ever see this,
In all these colours again,
We’ve got to look to move ahead,
Through all these visions there instead,
Into collective sunshine,
And as it starts to leave behind,
Sensations crossed this boundary lines,
So I give you this for instance now,
Come now, somehow,
It’s almost out of my hands,
Out of my hands and my head,
It’s out there instead,
So I give you this for instance now.
