Ya're there searchin' for somethin' ya lost on the street where the wind blows, but
The only thing more precious than a diamond is the nakedness of the heart
Worryin' over simple problems No!
Better ride past all the difficulties
Countin' fingers and waitin's no good
Ya can't build a house with just a plan
Don't move and ya'll never get started
It's I think what ya call "wantin' to do this and that"
If ya wanna get hold of your feelings
At a time like this Naked heart
Pantin' and lookin' somewhere Gazin' up the midnight sky, but
Neither the moon, the stars, nor even a liitle future shows in your murky eyes
I've got no use for petty troubles Now will just be wasted
Don't be spoiled with feelings ya can't help Wake up
That just-awaken face in the mirror is the real you As it is
The thing adornin' your chest isn't merit Only the nakedness of the heart
Ya're there searchin' for somethin' ya lost on the street where the wind blows, but
The only thing more precious than a diamond is the nakedness of the heart
Gentleness and weakness are two different things
Think about it ya'll understand it right away
All right to bring yourself on the rails
'Coz it ain't a train
No heart-thumpin' when ya can see what happens
The last movie ya know's useless
If ya want to get hold your feelings
At a time like this Naked heart
It's such a simple thing In a rainy day if ya don't wanna get wet bring out an umbrella
Grieve over an unfulfillable self rather than grieve over an unfulfilled dream
Can't do anythin' about showin' your shape No matter what ya wear
It's a weird joke Quit playin' around Wake up
I don't pass today in despair To the point I come to want a beautiful tomorrow
I believe in words more than pretty things
That just-awaken face in the mirror is the real you As it is
The thing adornin' your chest isn't merit Only the nakedness of the heart
Ya're there searchin' for somethin' ya lost on the street where the wind blows, but
The only thing more precious than a diamond is the nakedness of the heart
