Not what you see – Savatage

Not what you see

No life’s so short
it can’t turn around
You can’t spend your life living underground
For from above
you don’t hear a sound
And I’m out here, waiting
I don’t understand what you want me to be
It’s the dark you’re hating, it’s not who I am
But I know that it’s all that you see

No life’s so short
that it never learns
No flame so small
that it never burns
No page so sure
that it never turns
And I’m out here, waiting
I don’t understand what you want me to be
It’s the dark you’re hating, it’s not who I am
But I know that it’s all that you see

Can you live your life in a day,
putting every moment in play?
Never hear a word
that they say as the wheels go around
Tell me if you win would it show
in a thousand years, who would know?
As a million lives come and go
on this same piece of ground

Tell me would you really want to
See me leave this night without you
Would you ever look about you
Wondering where we might be
New York is so far away now
Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
Only dreams from here but somehow
One day that world we will see

I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand
I don’t understand…

…what I see.

I swear on tomorrow,
if you take this chance
Our lives are this moment,
the music, the dance
And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries
I close my eyes on this night
and you’re all that I see

You’re all that I see
