Everyone said it was easy to be
Like the sound of the sea
And the world abounding
Everyone wants to sing a simple song
When we all sing along
It's all the better sounding

Hey, what's that look on your face
In the place
Where your hope was erased
Cuz you're so understanding

But you can't see
What you never really wanted to be
You take it away
Then give it again to insecurity
And jump to the middle
Jump to the middle high to low
And to insanity you don't really
Have much farther to go
And you can't see
What you never really wanted to be
To be free
And undermine your insecurity
And jump to the middle
High to low

Everyone said that it is right
But it is wrong
And I'd love to belong
But the whole thing is saddening
Like Rodney King, can't we all get along
And sing a simple song
That's all the better sounding

Somebody said
That's my soul up there now
And I just can't see how
That we ever made it this far
