Motion of Ariel

I can say what I want to say I don't know if there will be time Thought I spoke the unchangeable Now I've seen it turn on a dime We forget someone giving us confidence When we were naive Since it's mainly the confidence it took to leave I can say what I want to say Still I know you're going to suspect All my reasons for speaking up Long before the words have effect Should I smile as you're standing apart, As you make yourself a name Or say that's how I think we all End up the same? I don't know what the radio wants when the radio taunts I don't know what the radio wants when the radio taunts Won't say where it's going Just that it's our last chance not to be left behind I don't know what walls to climb My little one To get away from the range of their high citadel I don't know what songs keep time My little one So I will sing to the motion of Ariel I can say what I want to say I forget why I think it's true Once the proof sounded obvious Now it's seeming out of the blue I could dole out the war-room advice To the joint chiefs, cool and calm I could ride my intentions like Slim on the bomb I don't know what walls to climb My little one To get away from the range of their high citadel I don't know what songs keep time My little one So I will sing to the motion it's going to take To set you free Ariel
