witness

The world slowly spins and I walk at my own pace And the blackbird still sings like it did yesterday The water is clear and this day will end And there's beauty in things that stay the same And I might stop here for a while And learn a lesson, find a place to hide I'll be a student, I'll do it right There's something so strange about my mind being this quiet It feels right until it feels wrong But there's something so brave about making amends and being patient and carrying on So I might stay here for a while And pay attention, at least have a try I'll be a witness, I'll open my eyes I'll open my eyes
