Ring the verse 
Let it in 
Set softly begin 
If it feels like the first time, don't let it in 
'Cause it wanders by 
Like something that could have been 

If I were to write the song 
That could penetrate your ears 
Would it calm your trembling soul? 
Would it ease your every fear? 

(Chorus) 
Can we go back to 
The place where we all used to see through 
Everything blinding us? 
Now you don't understand anything anymore 
You shiver at the sight 
And you're afraid to show that 
You're only so human tonight 

Could one song solve all of our problems? 
Could it have the strength to heal? 
Would it cripple and destroy 
And leave nothing unrevealed? 

Then it might it uproot every lie 
And force us all to cower 
Beneath this tremendous weight 
In the wake of all its power 

Can we go back to 
The place where we all used to see through 
Every thing blinding us? 
Now you don't understand anything anymore 
But you shiver at the sight 
And you're afraid to show that 
You're only so human tonight 

(interlude) 

Oh, did you know, did you know 
Did you know better? 
Don't you know, don't you know 
Don't you know better? 
Don't you know, don't you know 
Don't you know better? 
Don't you know that you shiver at the sight 

And you're afraid to show that 
You're only so human tonight 
If I were to write the song 
That could somehow change the world 
Would it be a calm surrender? 
(Or like) a fight to the death? 
Would it give something to live for? 
Would it give our final breath? 
Would it be a lulling opera, as sweet as a child's kiss? 
Would it sound like all the others? 
Would it sound something like this? 


(get through this) 

I feel the pastures growing greener 
I feel the waves, they 
They come all over me 
I feel the pastures growing greener 
I feel the waves 
They're comin' over me and everything's all right 
And everything's all right 

I hear the others, wondering where I've been 
I hear my mother, she's worried again, then 
I hear the others, wondering where I've been 
I hear my mother, she's worried again, then 

She weathers(?) me and hold me to my own 
She weathers me and keeps me hangin' on 

But I'll get through this, will you? 
But I'll get through this, will you? 
But I'll get through this, will you? 
But I'll get through this... 

In the southern, the air will keep you warm 
In the western, the air is dry as a bone 
In the southern, the air will keep you warm 
In the western, the air is dry as a bone 

And I've been wondering about that change 
And I, I~ 
And I've been wondering about that change 


But I'll get through this, will you? 
But I'll get through this, will you? 
But I'll get through this, will you? 
And I'll get through this...
