This tune has been with me for years. It has gone through two or three lyric revisions and I've recorded four different arrangements with three other bands. This is the final end result... i think.
Lyrics
Lookin out the window at the sky
then your eyes turn to the world rollin by
part of you wants to leave it all out there
part of your cant take it, and part of you don't care!
But there's a better part of you that feels
a need to go out there and get real!
part of you has scars that took forever to heal
part of figures you got a low down deal
now you built a sanctuary that turned into a cell
you filled it up with deadly things and made a living hell
you're hoping for better but it keeps getting worse
cause you drank a cup of lies and now you're dying of thirst, oh yeah!
Say, 'I believe!'
Now you open up your heart and thats enough
now you're looking through the eyes of love
part of you has courage you've never known before
why'd you want to keep it locked behind closed doors
now you built a sanctuary...
