ONE

One that speaks nicely
and one that listens
one with the power to absorb
without bringing it back
one that worries for the world
he is one that watches over himself
and one for all
and all for him

One crazy person in crisis (?)
and one that's calm
one that will yell "follow me"
as though he is the one that knows
one that will speak a lot
and will be at east
but you will always go
following the one with the power

And you, you know where you came from
and where you are going to
in a rinsing rain on everyone
you will come down like fall leaves
and you'll build nice cities, our land
big cities without people
that would scare us

Why am I always first
to discover what is pain
why am I always first
that undresses the heart
when you dressed me up in white
I stopped crying
why am I always first
that loses his head

And you, you know...

Oh how you said to me, wait for me
I laugh inside
because you don't really know
what I am truly thinking about
