Lyrics

I, I’ve been trying to get some sleep / But I just can’t keep a beat / With the rhythm of my soul / I, I’ve been trying to stay awake / But I’ve had all I can take / And this rambling’s getting old / In the end, you just can’t fake it / What you give, I’ll take it / If you’ve got love, I want it all / In the end, you just can’t hide it / And, no, you just can’t buy it / If you need love, I’ve got it all / Well, everybody knows it’s true / But what can anybody do? / Try to run, try to hide / Or you could tranquilize your mind / Well, who am I to know what’s right? / To pick a side and join the fight? / And so I’ll sing another song / I swear it won’t take very long / Those who govern from above / A system built on want and lust / Those who play God, those who design / A world where we all fall in line / Stolen words of love they take / Twisted into words of hate / Though, they don’t practice what they preach / Still millions gather while they teach / Is there no wrong, is there no right / When there’s no truth and there’s no lies? / Through all these blurred and faded lines / And all this static in my mind / If there’s one thing I know is true / I am here, and so are you / And we have loved, we have cried / We have lived, and we will die / Well, everybody knows it’s true / Whatever you decide to do / So, take your time, live your life / Know your truth, do what’s right / For fear of talking out of turn / I’ll stick to this thing that I’ve learned / And so I’ll sing another song / And hope someday they’ll sing along / In the end, you just can’t fake it / What you give, I’ll take it / If you’ve got love, I want it all / In the end, you just can’t hide it / And, no, you just can’t buy it / If you need love, I’ve got it all
