lyrics

What would you do if you ran into a man who claimed
That you could help him save the world?
That you could heal the sick,
And mend the mad, the criminals
Against their will, and without an agreed upon pill?

What if he told you that you'd have the things you most desire
That everything holding you back was a moonlight fire?
Transcend the mundane, ignorant crowds
And comprehend the clouds of reality
Much would he ask and much to you would he give

I bet I would take that deal
I'd want to find out, "Is that man for real?"
"Or is he just leading me on for his own ends?"

I don't know, but hey
What if instead he said you'd have to let go of everything
That nothing you had was yours to use?
That you would be asked to do some things you'd never wanted to
And in return, you'd get something he couldn't show?

Yeah, that one I just don't know
I don't want to give up or lose control
I've seen where that can lead, and I'd rather do this on my own

With my conscience in my head to keep me company
With a dream and a plan I'd need no one else to understand
And execute the moves to get us closer to

Someone who does right in spite of narrow wants and needs
Corrupted not by wealth or foolish pride
Worthy of trust, and never brutal or combustive
Maybe someone like this is with you now
