I’m the one with the weight of the world on my shoulder.
I’m the one who will stay here until the night is over.
I’ll never let you down, except to lift you up, so much higher off the ground.
I could be a waste; I could be a beggar of your time.
I could be a Saint; I could be the best you’d ever find,
If you could only see, that side of me.
I’m the one with the straight and narrow voice of conscience
I’m the one who will remain fervently conscious.
We’ll make it through somehow; we are already, so much higher now.
I could be a waste; I could be a beggar of your time.
I could be a Saint; I could be the best you’d ever find,
If you could only see, that side of me.
I used to take the longest way around.
I was always lost, but never found.
I used to remember all of my dreams.
I have always believed.
I could be a waste; I could be a beggar of your time.
I could be a Saint; I could be the best you’d ever find,
If you could only see, that side of me.
