The Thinker
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 went to the station with a heavy load
I missed my connection and I started to go
But there was a light shining in the isle
It said: Where are you going?
And I said: I don't even know anymore
You see, I started out in Texas
Trying to reach the ocean via the mountains
To the desert and the shore
And I got lost inside an hourglass
And had to ask what I'm even doing anymore
And I walked for days
And I shed my skin
And I walked for days
And I shed my skin
And I did it all for love, and I'd do it again
Oh, I did it all for love, and I'd do it again
I'm not like the pharaohs or rulers of kingdoms
I just need love
The only thing I, I want to rulе is myself
And I found myself in Phoenix rising with thе early morning
Here I am awaking in the dawn
Reflecting the light I see in you underneath a golden hue
Here I am awaking in the dawn
Let time wither these walls upon our land
I have only begun to understand
Let time wither these walls upon our land
With open arms reaching for Saturn's rings
Oh, there's a bounty of love that it brings
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
All you need is love
Plenty of love you got
All you need is love
Plenty of love you got
Don't worry about material things
In the end there's nothing they bring
Don't worry about material things
In the end there's nothing they bring
