Lyrics

Hawking

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.

Whenever I

I close my eyes

Then I don't mind being the way I am

But whenever I try

Explaining why

I know I never can

Now that it's

Gone, paths I used to travel

Gone, things I used to handle

Gone, once I had a choice what to be

But then god kissed me

And I lost it when I fainted in his arms

Have pity on me brother

I'm trapped behind the mirror

I'm out here on the border

Wondering why

Why was it I?

Maybe my mind wouldn't have come this way

If I'd taken my time

Answers only unwind

When you can't look away

Maybe 'cause

I want the secret broken

I want the casket open

I need to see what no eyes can see

And when god kissed me

Then I dreamed them when I fainted in her arms

Now I've got to go on sleeping

Lean in a little closer

And I'll tell you what I'm dreaming

I'll tell you what I'm dreaming

I see time without beginning

Space without an ending

I see bodies strong and running

With minds not comprehending

Have pity on your brother

Please have pity on your sister

Take pity on each other

And on every living creature

Whenever I

Open my eyes

I can't believe it's real

It's a jungle outside

People just survive

They can't reach the high ideal

But I

Know if I can't recover, at least I

Know, I know the book from cover to cover, and who

Knows, I might dream forever

Since I've met the world's greatest lover

When god kissed me

And I knew it when I fainted in his arms

Let's dream together people
