Walking awake in the golden sun taking what we find
Far and away it’s the only way and it’s mine if it shines
But I would give it on up to you if that’s what you need from me
Because it’s true if it’s true and somewhere between me and you I find
A connection of minds
We’re swimming asleep in the seas on a holiday
You’d sell your soul to unwind
Working the days for the gods that pay
They say “It’s fine if it shines”
But I would give it all up for you if that’s what you need from me
Because it’s true if it’s true and somewhere between me and you I find
A connection of minds
But under this weight I will bow down now
I’ll turn my head and darken my face
And oh to the rain won’t you wash me out now
So I could dry my drowning heart by the fires of your faith
I’m making a play for the stars today I’m gonna leave this world behind
They’re far away but I’ll make my way
And I will find where it shines
And I will bring it on back to you if that’s what you need from me
Because it’s true if it’s true and somewhere between me and you I find
A connection of minds
