[Verse 1]

Restless to begin

A wave comes crashing in

The band on stage is tuning

Jacarandas are blooming

Your face sketched in the trees

Puts my mind at ease

Beneath the water frozen

The Merrimack River is flowing

Thunder rolling over


[Chorus]

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are

And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are


[Verse 2]

Rows of boys and girls

Line up to see the world

Candy-coated promise

Just out of reach when you want it

Give me something sweet

Bring me to the brink

I'll leave without hesitation

To a world without limitation

Rock me patient, slowly


[Chorus]

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are

And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are

You know you are


[Verse 3]

A world that moves too fast

A mouth of broken glass

It may not seem so painful

By January, the rain will swallow

Change will follow


[Chorus]

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are

Don't say you're not afraid when you know you are

You know you are

I know you are
