"The Thinker" lyrics

"The Thinker"

I went to the station with a heavy load
I missed my connection and I started to go
But there was a light shining in the isle
It said where are you going
And I said I don't even know anymore

You see I started out in Texas
Trying to reach the ocean via the mountains
To the desert and the shore
And I got lost inside an hourglass
And had to ask what I'm even doing anymore

And I walked for days, and I shed my skin
And I walked for days, and I shed my skin
And I did it all for love and I'd do it again
Oh, I did it all for love and I'd do it again

I'm not like the Pharaohs or rulers of kingdoms
I just need love
The only thing I, I want to rule is myself

And I found myself in Phoenix rising with the early morning
Now here I am awaking in the dawn
Reflecting the light I see in you underneath a golden hue
Here I am awaking in the dawn

Let time wither these walls upon our land
I have only begun to understand
Let time wither these walls upon our land
With open arms reaching for Saturn's rings
Oh there's a bounty of love that it brings
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything
See there's beauty in everything

Love, love, love
Love, love, love

All you need is love, and plenty of love you got
All you need is love, and plenty of love you got
Don't worry about material things
In the end there's nothing they bring
Don't worry about material things
In the end there's nothing they bring
