i'm with you, "even when I think you're wrong"
i'll be with you to say that it's ok to be afraid,
that it's fine to make mistakes,
that the confusion is only on the surface

when you hold the hands of the Devil,
i wanna show you how to look into his eyes
and see that he doesn't really exist

"so many vases and no flowers",
you can take care of them,
they can take care of you

water in one day,
sun in the afternoon,
some compost once in a while,
but what they really want,
what they really care about
is your smile when you look at them in all their beauty

like the stars
that fall down only to put a smile upon your face
and then they feel happy to go away,
even though they would like to stay
to be near you

they will be happy to go away
just to see that smile
when you see them crossing the sky

what is distance, anyway?
she's so far away, and she was here with me yesterday
what is loneliness, after all?
when you cry alone, you just didn't realize that the world is holding your hands

but come on, cry
let it all be washed out in the rain

the water knows it's ways,
and it will lead you again into the ocean
it will again make you feel safe

so come on,
you already have the seeds,
put them in some place where you can take care of them
and they can take care of you
