I've been thinking on my throne
drinking from a cup that's filled with tears
I hid for hundreds of years
and now I'm sitting on a wall
staring at the dregs of light
and trying to catch them as they crawl
can you see me calling like an animal
I'm enraptured by the sun
and it's smiling at my fun
and keeps me hanging from its rays
I've been playing hide and seek
with the humble and the meek
and now I'm rising to a higher state
can you hear me laughing at heaven's gate
I was born and then I died
and now I'm going nowhere special
so I might as well enjoy the ride
as the inside turns outside
and I'm grazing diamond glazing
on the hill
moonbeam haze on a sunlight craze
will you turn my page scribble out my name
realise we're the same and it's all just a game
do you graze like a sheep
or defend what you keep
do you dream in your sleep
or avoid swimming deep
did I go too far
did I dream too long
I've been touched by a star
I've been blessed by a song
