lyrics

What is it we desire in a world a earth, wind and fire?
The ways we complicate our lives to make us think they're great.
What should we expect and why do we elect?
Am i individual, or have i said too much do i look a fool?
But surely not, this world is free.
There are differences between you and me.
I'll live my life to be happy but how will this be?
What should i seek....?

The path to take to make us truly smile is a puzzling road that seems to stretch for miles.
Can't be to dig for gold, even the rich grow cold,
Can't be to find the one, the odds are thousands to one.
What are we looking for? We just need to find something worth living for.

Happiness is right under our nose
We'll just plant the seed and watch it grow.
If it makes others smile and it brings them glee,
that seed we sowed will grow into a tree.

A story i heard of a master and man is a tale that i will tell as best as i can.
The master cared for nothing but status and wealth whilst his faithful servant served him at the cost of his health.
One day they led their cart astray and got stuck in a storm and as the slave began to die his master was reborn.
He saw this unloved fool was all he ever really had so he wrapped his coat around him like a loving dad.
He sacrificed his life for the life of his slave and his hear became alive just as he went to his grave.
He'd found what he was looking for and it was something worth dying for.

Chorus

And once we reach the afterlife,
Will it be as we thought, will we be surprised.
Will we find the light or fall into gloom,
well we'll all find out soon.
We'll all find out soon.
