Lyrics
Maybe Not
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.
There's a dream that I see, I pray it can be
Across the land, shake this land
A wish or a command
A dream that I see, don't kill it, it's free
You're just a man, you'll get what you can
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We can all be free
Maybe not in words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
But listen to me, don't walk that street
There's always an end to it
Come and be free, you know who I am
We're just a living people
We won't have a thing
So we've got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe not with a look
But with your mind
You've got to choose a wish or command
If the turn of the tide is weathering thee
Remember one thing, a dream you can see
Pray it to be, shake this land
We all do what we can
So we can do just one more thing
We won't have a thing
So we've got nothing to lose
We can all be free
Maybe not with words
Maybe with a look
But with your mind
But with your mind
