came up with the guitar part and it was months before i could do anything but concentrate on what my fingers were doing. then i wrote words. now i can play and sing at the same time though.

lookin up and seein what i am
all i can be and all that i can't
aren't you just dying to find out
calm all your fears quell all your doubts
get to your location
where the air around you's warm
look down at your feet and wonder
how it was you're born
and if you see me stand alone
and if you see me cry
tell her that its not her fault
tell her i said goodbye
i said goodbye

smile at me and keep what you've found
don't worry i've got my head on the ground
i'll see london and i'll see france
i'll make people sing and dance
you could be the champion of the world
and i'd applaud
don't worry if im not there then
thats the lesson that you've tought
and if you see her stand alond
and if you see her cry
pick her up and dust her off
look her in the eye
and then say hi

starting over again each new day
nevermind just do it your way
i'll sit back take it all in
you should know i don't care who wins
look me in the eye and tell me
all i'd want to head
i'll walk away just the same
and be back again next year
and if anyone should stand alone
if anyone should cry
pick them up and dust them off
look them in the eye
and then say hi

yeah. then say hi.
