The country is riddled with social ills and aches

But my heart is calmed by her embrace

I'm trying to tell something to the world

But my words are slurred and slow

Have you ever been caught up in a dream

Where your legs were froze?

I was trapped between my thoughts and my guitar

But it felt helpless like the desire of the moth

For the star

Sometimes nothing seems unreal

This strange little boy said

"Mister, play us your guitar" and I said, "No, I can't"

And put my guitar back in the car

Listening to thе music of Heaven and Earth

Have you еver thought you were the most important thing in the universe?

Should I strengthen my weaknesses or play to my strengths?

Yeah, I was trapped in the triviality of everydayness

I said, "There's magic in my head, girl

I only use it when I'm depressed"

I don't suppose she heard me

She was too busy admiring her dress

She said I was pretentious

I said just young and well-intentioned

Who can save us now? The world rots

Who can save us now? The world rots

Who can save us now? The world rots

Who can save us now? The world rots

Well, I did know the secret of the universe

Only I forgot
