tried digging a hole in the ocean
so done with the game in the pond
tried building a tower of Babel
tried waving a magical wand
but it wasn’t mine for waving
and it’s no use to cry
when ocean waves come crashing
and towers leave the sky
so dig me a hole now
build me a tower
tell me your secret
give me your power
to feel what you feel now
and see what you see
and know where the wind blows
and how it will be
‘cos you’re talking of forever
forever and a day
but I just got this moment
and I don’t want to stay
where people build their towers
upon the barren sands
and wands are in the pockets
of those who deal the hand
so tear up my cards now
I’m sick of this game
afraid of forever
being more of the same
