lyrics

Sometimes I’m enlightened
and sometimes so frightened
I can’t find the light and
I can’t even cry
sometimes I speak
like my head’s got a leak
and I bleat like a sheep
and I cry till I’m dry

Somewhere in the middle of the pouring rain
you take me in and let me laugh again
I rest a while in the safety zone
when I’m OK I shout leave me alone

Yippee I’m a wide eye
staring outa my sky
living in the forests
far beyond my reasons
swimming in the water
breathing in the salt air
lying in the warm sand
drying out in the sun

Recently something inside me got broken
I thought I was choking
I thought I would die
but when I awoke
I was still the same oke
just a little more stoked
that I was alive

You see me looking empty in a crowded room
you might think I’m lost inside my gloom
look a little deeper in my mind and see
I’ll show you now the fun that I can be

Yippee I’m a wide eye
staring outa my sky
living in the forests
far beyond my reasons
swimming in the water
breathing in the salt air
lying in the warm sand
drying out in the sun
Lets go to Elands
lets fly down that left once
let push through the sets once
from water to sky
Yipee I’m a wide eye
staring outa my sky
living in the forests
far beyond my reasons
swimming in the water
breathing in the salt air
lying on the warm sand
drying out in the sun
