What I was told

This is what I was told

Go seek and you shall find

Never seeking riches and gold

It's a journey of another kind

They lied

This is what I was told

It's the journey not the prize

But if everything is bought and sold

Maybe you weren't so wise

You lied

This is what I was told.

Swimming towards all the words you said

Was drowning while they sailed ahead

That wasn't me, it was never for me

I just want to wander all around

In search of magic, vanish, never found

Travel on the wings of sound

And never turn back

This is what I was told

Underneath it all we're just the same

No point to defy the mould

I'm still losing this game

I tried.

This is what I was told

You must compete to stay alive

If you give up and fold

You'll be washed away with the tide

Just survive.

This is what I was told.

Soaring, flying, floating, rising

I'm dreaming in technicolour

Soaring, flying, floating, rising

I'm screaming for miracles
