Lambert
You know as well as I
The pieces in my jig-saw were never made to fit
I waste my time pretending I can do it.
And you know as well as I
Black is black and white is white
Hell is somewhere in-between but never far from sight.
Children will forever be the keepers of the truth
The keys are hidden safely with their nightmares.
You know as well as I
The birds will leave in winter, we’ll see them in the spring
They don’t do much complaining in the meantime.
And you know as well as I
One way’s up and one way’s down
Somewhere in the middle is where we will all be found.
Genius of innocence will never be denied
The call of the emotions is deafening.
You know as well as I
The journey to full happiness is uphill all the way
Our ladders reach the snakes and so we weaken.
And you know as well as I
Right is right and that is that
Nothing can defeat it while our souls remain intact.
People of perfection might be living here quite soon
They won’t be needing love and deep emotion.
