lyrics

I've been looking for the unseen world
Another world that is right here where we are
But even lookin when my eyes are closed
That world remains elusive
Something's in my way
Something's in my way

I've been listening for the unheard sound
Another voice saying what we cannot say
But even listening in my silent room
That sound remains elusive
This world is too loud
This world is too loud

If I thirst for the ultimate
Can I be ready for what pours from the spring
And if I ask for what I need
Will it be too marvelous
Too marvelous to hear
Too marvelous to see

As much as a pen knows what it is writing
As much as a car knows where it is driving to
As much as a ball can guess its direction
Nothing's like I thought it would be

I've been looking for the unseen world
Another way of being right here where we are
But even looking when my eyes are closed
That world remains elusive
Let me find the joy
Let me find the joy
