Didn't think I'd finally find
A whole world in my mind
But you're doing just fine
You said, "I'm sorry babe
I just want to shine"

Tall grass and a blistering heat
I've got the burns on my back
Dirt on the soles of my feet
They say, "come here where the air is sweet
Play the game we're playing"
I heard them saying

"Here's where you lose your mind
The water here's divine
You're doing just fine
Come on darling
Don't you want to shine? "

Here's where you lose your mind
We lose it all the time
Look up, darling, and you'll find
We're not that different losing brilliance
Every time we want to shine
