Under The Surface

You could travel for a lifetime And still stay where you are You could wait until the right time Resolve to make or mar People tell you what they know They're mostly wrong from the word go It's under the surface and it's up in the sky That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try The lines are old yet still not weakened You don't know what to do 'Cause everyone else around is sleeping The choice is up to you Now you better watch out what you're saying These words could cut like swords You better watch out while you're praying Find out what you're praying for People tell you what they know They're mostly wrong from the word go 'Cause it's under the surface and it's up in the sky That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try It's so unexpected, now how could it be true I never would detect it if it hadn't been for you Now I got this notion and it's bottled up inside A swamp of emotions there's no need to hide It's under the surface and it's up in the sky That's why you won't reach it, so don't even try --- Under the Surface - Bettie Serveert
