Someone
Someone
I want someone to knock on my door, burst in barefoot and walk on my floor.
Look me in the eye, there'd be no surprise
and we wouldn't say a word when we wanted more.
I want someone to mirror my soul, take me as I take life on a roll.
We'll laugh when we're glad, smile at the bad
and know that we're not apart, we're a part of the whole.
It could be you, you, you or you, I've been running round
but now the certainty of change and constant stillness,
is the faith I've found.
I want someone to pick all the locks, lift all the lids and open her box;
take me deep inside, down the upward slide
and trust in the ultimate truth of paradox.
I want someone to turn on the light, show us all who's wielding their might;
President Bush rose, think emperor's clothes,
the conspiracy appears in plane sight.
We need someone to burst from their pod,
stand in the doorway and give us the nod;
there's only me and you, what'll we do?
We'll talk to each other like a conversation with God.
I want someone to knock on my door.
