Why do we harm the only thing we wanna be?

Time after time we

Walk pass the window

But never see the ashes on the ground

Night after night

Watching the sky move

Never feel the earth spinning 'round

I didn't see you fallin'

I couldn't hear you callin'

Born with eyes wide open never learn to see

I never ment to hurt you

Was right there crying with you

Why do we harm the only thing we want to be

Trying to follow

Every footstep

I feel so lost along the way

Reading the scripture

Straight from the gospel

Never understanding what they say

I didn't see you fallin'

I never heard you' callin'

I've got my eyes wide open

but haven't learned to see

Yeah

I never ment to hurt you

Was right there crying with you

Why do we harm the only thing we want to be

I just gotta be

Me

I just gotta be

Me

Yeah

[GUITAR SOLO]

I didn't see you fallin'

I never heard you callin'

I've got my eyes wide open but never learned to see

I never ment to hurt you

Was right there crying with you

We only cage the very thing we want to free

I just wanna be

I just gotta be

I just gotta be me

I wanna be

[Remember, on the verses, all the 5's, 7's, and 12's are harmonics]

Well, other than the solo and interlude, thats it.

Hope you enjoy it!!
