As I stare at the empty stage,
"When will I find my place?"
I think that I deserve to live.
"When will I find my way home?"
I think that I am lost.
As I stare at the empty stage
No one else around.
I sit at this piano fence and play my song.
I think that I'm losing it.
"When will I find my place inside?"
I think I deserve to run.
"When will I meet my end of hiding?"

Little boy, don't you worry.
Little child, dear to me.
Little angel, listen close.
Little babe, can you hear?
Little girl, just believe.
Little royal, just imagine.
Little baby, don't you cry.
Little dear, close to me.
Little timer, look close.
Little child, can you see?
The diamond in the sea.
Little rose, in the thorns.
Little me, don't you fear.
Little perfect, near to me.
Little babe, look and hear.
Little swaddling, reach for the moon.
Little angel, just rest now.
Little one, when you're older.
Little you, won't be mine.
Little thee, you'll be your own.
Little mine, please stay here.
Little child, let me protect.
Little ome, let me take the hits.
For little, for mine, you won't always be.

Have you ever listened to me in your dreams?
Do you know me like you do a memory?
Do you my voice stuck in your head?
Do you know my name just as your own?
If you do, then you're amazing.
Do you cry yourself to sleep in your own?
Have you ever scared your skin as well?
Do you have your mother's picture by your bed?
Do you need some one to comfort you?
If you do, I'm perfect for you.
Do you smile to yourself?
Do you love you like you should?
Have you never felt lonely or misunderstood?
Do you not need some one to feel loved?
If so, you're better off alone.

And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
And all I say is "I've been better, but I'm fine."
I'm fine. I'm fine.
They beat me with their verbal assaults,
But all I have to say is "I'm fine."
Keep up the blockade, while I pull away.
They push and they pull, trying to get me.
I put up a smile, a front, a fake
And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
I look at you and say "I've been better, but I'm fine."
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
They pull at me, behind the scenes
Telling me to say my name. I hide and dive right through.
They try to tell me who I am
What to do. They push, then pull and drive me to the edge.
It's been like this all my life.
I moved eight times, but since eleven,
I remember long ago
I was eight and bled from a paper cut.
Maybe that's where it went wrong.
So I hang my head and cry.
And all you have to say is "Are you okay?"
I fake a smile and lie, "I've been better but I'm fine."
You nod your head and leave me be
To drown in my own misery.
I've been better but I'm fine.
Eight words to hide behind.
Eight words. Eight moves. Eight years old.
I believe it's true.
That I've been better but I'm fine.

Land and sea
They lovers be.
The waves rush up
To meet the shore
They lovers be.

Land and sea
They lovers be
The land jumps up.
And then under
Kisses by the sea.

Land and sea
They lovers be.
Once upon a
Not so long ago,
They lovers be.

Land and sea
They lovers be.
When man was scared
And feared the ocean,
They lovers be.

Land and sea
They lovers be.
Man could not swim,
Or control
The wild, wild sea.

Land and sea
They lovers be.
The land was burdened
By the man,
Who ruined sea.

Land and sea
They were lovers be.
When man left lone,
They were pure.
They lovers once.

I visited the shore,
And I was sadly shocked
To see all that waste.

I can't hear you above the sound of the ocean waves.
I can't see you across the thousands of miles away.
Lie and tell but you can never escape the grave.
You'll go blind if you look into the sun's ray.
Whispered voices hide what they won't tell.
Shouts and calls show a deeper meaning behind.
Listen closely, you might hear the echo of the well.
Watch and learn, so you know how they unwind.
Careful, listen, listen to the ringing of the bell.
See the shells as they are refined.
You will likely be okay, too we say farewell.
