lyrics

If I'm just a mist
And I'm gone in a jiff
What am I leaving behind me?

Who am I serving
It's rather unnerving
Believing in something as small as myself.

So when you speak I hope I'm listening
And not counting dollars, starching my collar,
Worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to you.

INTERLUDE

And If the eye of a needle
Is all that is equal
To my chance at eternity

Why would I waste it
When its so easily tasted
By letting go of everything?

So when you speak I hope I’m listening
and not trying to open a door that your closin'
worrying bout things that mean nothin, nothin to...

You call me to give
just like you gave
and just like you came
you call me to go
But just like a bird
is chained to the skyway
I’m trained to believe
I’m better off my way
How do I break it?
Can I forsake it?
Without you, it’s pointless
In my riches, I’m naked
I need you to move me
and I need you to move
I don’t want to miss it
because I’m trying to prove you

So when you speak, I hope I’m listening,
not speaking in tongues, empty of love
worrying about things that mean nothing, nothing to you.
