Restless to begin
A wave comes crashing in
The band onstage 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

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

Rows of boys and girls

Lined up to see the world
Candy-colored 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


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

A world that moves too fast

A mouth of broken glass
It may not seem so painful
But January the rain will swallow

Change will follow

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
I know you are
