I’m not the pavement you’re looking for, and I didn’t come with a view,
and I wouldn’t trade a box of rocks for things you think are worth enough to get a generation through.

I don’t make my shape with your phony lines, and I won’t sit down til I’m through.
And I take time because it’s mine—not so I can waste it on the things that I don’t need to do.

And I know what to look for in a wave.

Take a breath, it’ll be over soon.. and I’ll do it with a whisper.
You won’t even know that I’m in the room… and I’ll do it with a whisper.

And what you see is only what you see, and what you feel covers the rest.
But tell me why the things I see just don’t make me feel like everybody wants to do their best.

I’m just trying to help you with your bags.

Take a breath, it’ll be over soon.. and I’ll do it with a whisper.
You won’t even know that I’m in the room… and I’ll do it with a whisper.

I won’t ride the tails that are going down, when there’s more to do—and I know what to look for in a wave.

Take a breath, it’ll be over soon.. and I’ll do it with a whisper.
You won’t even know that I’m in the room… and I’ll do it with a whisper.
