you walk in circles
and you point to pretty things
and you take no notice of this
if you just understood
took time to question everything
you might see how much you miss

chorus

everything that's real
takes some time to know
you can't just take a glance
the story has to unfold
and every time you do
look the other way
you might be walkin' backwards
you might be leading yourself astray

no one will stop you, no
this world is built for ignorance
you have to learn to break free
this path is well worn down
many have come before you now
to be alive is to see

oh you've got enough on your plate
wearin' you down
oh you've got your priorities straight
and no one can push you around

so i will keep my peace
i won't make you my enemy
but i will not hang around
i've got all that i need
i'm not afraid to believe
i will make my way somehow

chorus

you walk in circles
and you point to pretty things
and you take no notice of this
if you just understood
took time to question everything
you might see how much you miss
