misty eyed wanderings of fools 
break the silent shadows screamin inside your mind 
hidin from what you left behind 
and now home inside your mind 
     sometimes you lose your way 
     they say it’s only now n then you can get a chance 
     to break it free, your destiny - n you’d better take it 

take me to the river, let me clear my head 
all my trials n tribulations washed away by what you said to me 
in the misty summer breeze - take me back to where i once was free 
     i wanted you to see the sun - i need ya now that i’ve begun to fly 

take me to the middle of your mind 
don’t be afraid cuz i won’t look at what’s inside 
     don’t worry bout what you’re feelin 
     or even question why you cry when i touch your eyes 

and if yer feelin lonely, call on your friends, make some ends meet 
life is rough on the street - you might fall into a hole n get busted 
lustin for the other side of the tracks, you might not make it back 
runnin around n lookin for truth n there’s nothin else you can do 
what you been dreamin of just might be dreamin about you too 
     now what you gonna do ? 

every time i look out to see where i been goin 
never seem to find the road, wind’s too strong 
     n then the hurricane went n drove ya crazy 
     but i only wanted to touch you for awhile...

late at night when the millions’ve gone 
stand alone inside the risin sun, wait for peace to come 
     n it’s not how long you’ve been waitin, but what you’ve waited for 
     so roll dice right, you might find it’s more than what you expected

somethin inside my memory decided what i tried to be 
afraid that my destiny had somethin wicked in store for me 
you should know that i ain’t no fool n i don’t follow them anymore 
     but it’s hard not to cry when you feel their blood stained eyes 
     mesmerize and terrorize n try to tear apart your weary mind 

went down to the river, justa clear my head 
singin songs of liberation that today are all but dead to me 
n the misty summer breeze takes me back to where i once was free 
     i wanted you to see the sun - i need ya now that i’ve begun
     world i once knew is gone - n now i am the ever racin dawn 

all the worlds’re spinnin around me - distant colors, n too far 
peace and freedom in my mind - n laughing inside my heart 
i wanted you to see the sun - i need you now that i’ve begun 
worlds i once knew are gone - n now i am the ever racin dawn 
     but i’m never gonna breathe the air - never see you again
