Lyrics
Sea Of Years
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.
People, they say
Higher high
Why do they go
Lower lower?
I need to know
Do I want to believe?
Trying to climb
Higher high
The weight of it all
On your shoulders
Palms up to show
That I've dug in too deep
I'll make up my mind
When a sea of years pass inside
Why is it I'd need a thousand lives?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Even if I live again
(Even if I live again)
Just enough to reach the hands
(Just enough to reach the hands)
All of the hands reaching out to me
I'll make up my mind
When a sea of years pass inside
Why is it I need a thousand lives?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do we need a mountain to climb?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You try to fight I don't want to change your mind
I try to fight I don't want to change your mind
You try to fight I don't want to change your mind
You try to fight I don't want to change your mind
You try to fight I don't want to change your mind
You try to fight I don't want to change your mind
I'll make up my mind
When a sea of years pass inside
Why is it I need a thousand lives?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Do we need a mountain to climb
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
