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.
What are we made of?
Can we know what we will be?
(What are we made of?)
Think again
There's a wind of change is blowing
There's a fire deep inside
There's a place we could be going
If we could only get it right
And the river keeps on flowing
And the morning lights the sky
But if they said it would be easy
I guess they must have lied
What are we made of?
Can we know what we will be?
What are the chances
I can find a better path, a better life, a better me?
(What are we made of?)
If you think you know the answer
Turn around, think again
Whatever were you thinking?
Could you turn you life around?
When you know your world is sinking
Can you find the solid ground?
Is there really a road to heaven?
We'll find it
And a road leads down below
Some way, somewhere
Does anything really matter?
If only we could know
What are we made of?
Is it written in the sand?
Where are we sailing?
To a strange and distant land
Take my hand, sail with me
(What are we made of?)
Because I have to understand
What are we made of?
Can we know what we will be?
What are the chances
There's a place for you and me?
(What are we made of?)
Just for this moment, take your life into your hands
You'll decide what you are made of
What it is that you can be
Think again, my friend
Turn around, think again.
