Don't wanna know your dark secrets
Don't wanna know where you come from
Just tell me where your going to
Are you heading for a new plateau?
Don't wanna hear about your sorrows
Don't wanna hear how much money you have
Just tell me about your hopes and dreams
Are you heading for a new plateau?
Build a fire, come on and let it burn
Don't wanna hear how old you are
Or if the story your telling me is true
Just tell me you'll look a fool for love
Are you heading for a new plateau?
It don't matter who you are or how you came to be here
Just tell me that you'll never shrink back
Are you heading for a new plateau?
Build a fire, come on and let it burn
I've seen the flowers rise from the earth and tasted the blossom
Of springs end, lived and breathed the
Wisdom of my father and sang my mothers tears
Held the puppeteer and felt his radiance then
Was woken beyond the arc of dream
The sky fell to reveal a myriad of stars burning
In a furnace of one and I heard the gentle beat
Of the wind under a dark autumn sun, and
As the sky cleared and the land breathed
Nothing was quite what it seemed
Don't wanna know your dark secrets
Don't wanna know where you come from
Just tell me where your going to
Are you heading for a new plateau?
Don't wanna hear about your sorrows
Don't wanna hear how much money you have
Just tell me about your hopes and dreams
Are you heading for a new plateau?
