TO BE

(verse 1)

everyone passes through

I don't keep them in mind either

it can't be helped, I suppose

and I don't care, I suppose

you've been carrying that junk as if

it's important and precious

I wonder if it is

people saw you from a distance

and thought you were strange

even so you laughed

and said to me "this is treasure"

while I'm gaining something big

I wonder if it's something I lost

I don't understand

and maybe I never will

this place I've regained

I bet it's slightly different

I'm trapped between fours walls

you showed me how to live

you gave me your patience

and for that I'm grateful

(chorus)

if you are there by my side

I'm always laughing

I'm never sighing

if you are there by my side

I'm always laughing

I'm crying, I'm living

I'm loving, I am praying

if you're not there, there's nothing

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

was it myself?

was it the people I was with?

or was it only a clock?

the thing that seemed like it would break

it stayed strong

like you seem to me

how much do the arms that protect the junk hurt?

what have they sacrificed, I wonder?

even though you'll never ever be perfect

you shine in your imperfection

and I want to be just like you

(chorus)

the path that you found

it isn't that wide

it's pretty barren

the path that you found

it isn't that wide

it isn't narrow, it isn't right

it's too long, but somehow

you alone have made it better for me

(end chorus)

(chorus)

if you are there by my side

I'm always laughing

I'm never sighing

if you are there by my side

I'm always laughing

I'm crying, I'm living

I'm loving, I am praying

if you're not there, there's nothing

(end chorus)

or was it only a clock?

the thing that seemed like it would break

it stayed strong

t-t-t-t-the path that you found

it isn't that wide

it's pretty barren

t-t-t-t-t-the path that you found

it's too long, but somehow

y-y-y-y-you alone have made it better for me
