Pretend You're Happy - Where Do All the Circles Lead? lyrics

I dreamt I could fly So I left it all behind Spread my wings Lift off The ground Up to The big blue sky Over the houses and over the highways All perfectly placed in a grid All of the people like ants on a mission Not knowing the world I can see Speeding around in their shapes always looking ahead Rushing past everyone I thought 'Who am I?' So strange ants up in the clouds Looking down On stone and steel And live of those like me Moving in straight lines that end up in circles But where do the circles all lead? All of the people pretending they're happy Not wanting to fall or to bleed Or let others see all the pain and the fear underneath But it's in everyone So I cried for hours Cried my insides out of me And when it Was gone I faced a void And I dove in I found a glow underneath all the sadness And that's the place I'd rather be Why waste my flight on these tormented circles When I can be happy and free If I rest my head in the heart of this great mystery Swallowing everyone
