Somewhere Else

If you just look outside, tell me what do you see

If you just turn the right

What catches your eye and what does it mean?

A woman wearing manly suits

To soothe the burning business of the world

A man that begs his motherland

To help him find the meaning of it all

You can think you know them all, but forget what they’re like

You can hear it all around, but still be silent inside

You can be helping hand, but have no words to tell

I could be right here, while being somewhere else

Without the play we write

What kind of world would this be?

If you could sense all the lies

Would you still lie here with me

Would the manly suit be burned

And would the man find comfort in the truth

And would you know that when you speak

I’m often just pretending I hear you

You can think you know them all, but forget what they’re like

You can hear it all around, but still be silent inside

You can be helping hand, but have no words to tell

I could be right here, while being somewhere else
