Lyrics
This Energy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought I could do it on my own
But I got lost along the way
I jumped on a train with nowhere to go
I could feel I was going astray
Then an ant-like creature came along
She was almost invisible but oh so strong
It didn't happen in a fortnight
But the martian steered me towards a brighter light
And here's what she said, she said
Wake up, you need no sigh from up above
Wake up, for some energy and love
Wake up, I hear it in the way you walk
Wake up, I see it in the way you talk
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
You need some
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
You need no sign from up above
This energy is the strangest thing
It more than defines the human being
It can be wrong, it can be right
It can be dark, it can be light
It keeps us going and it tears us apart
And pulls the strings inside our hearts
But these days, oh these days
It's not what you've read in any book
It's what you wear and how you look
It's what you reap and what you sow, sow, sow
It's what you post and what you score
It's all on the outside
Zero depth
All about angles and
Abstract concepts
A place where loneliness abounds
Second-hand emotions and online sounds
Wake up, you need no sigh from up above
Wake up, for some energy and love
Wake up, I hear it in the way you walk
Wake up, I see it in the way you talk
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy and love
Energy, energy and love
You need no sign from up above
A meeting of minds, a meeting of eyes
A fleeting glimpse as you walk by
Our energy is in the flesh
The chemistry's not trapped in an app
Feel the heat on someone's face
Touch the earth and smell the grass
Roll around like in the past
And take a leap in to wide open space
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
You need no sign from up above
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
Energy, energy and love
