I've walked these streets

A virtual stage

It seemed to me

Make up on their faces

Actors took their

Places next to me



I've walked these streets

In a carnival

Of sights to see

All the cheap thrill seekers

The vendors & the dealers

They crowded around me



Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Inside myself and

My own mind

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have seen?



I've walked these streets

In a spectacle of wealth & poverty

In the diamond market

The scarlet welcome carpet

That they just rolled out for me



I've walked these streets

In the mad house asylum

They can be

Where a wild eyed misfit prophet

On a traffic island stopped

And he raved of saving me



Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Inside myself and

My own mind

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have seen?



Have I been wrong

Have I been wise

To shut my eyes

And play along

Hypnotized

Paralyzed

By what my eyes have found

By what my eyes have seen

What they have seen?



Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Have I been wrong

Have I been wise

Have I been strong

Have I been

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have found

In that great street carnival

In that carnival?

When I see your smile

Tears run down my face I can't replace

And now that I'm stronger I've figured out

How this world turns cold and breaks through my soul

And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one



I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven



It's ok. It's ok. It's ok.

Seasons are changing

And waves are crashing

And stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one



I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven



Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart

Please don't throw that away

Cuz I'm here for you

Please don't walk away,

Please tell me you'll stay, stay



Use me as you will

Pull my strings just for a thrill

And I know I'll be ok

Though my skies are turning gray



I will never let you fall

I'll stand up with you forever

I'll be there for you through it all

Even if saving you sends me to heaven
