Don't Know the Half ©2007 Richard March Don't know the half, maybe a little We all get caught in the rain The driver waits, Your fingers fiddle Searching your pocket for change You wave him on and watch him disappear Got your reasons and they're so sincere Keep you safe from any interest shown One standing next to you is twice your age She's settled nicely in her comfort cage Do you really want this life alone? I've seen you dance, I know you mean it I feel you wantin' to play I do my best, I know you see it And then I get in my way Take a breath, Try not to fake it Fill up my shoes where I stand We got our rules, I wanna break 'em And make a change in the plans I know it's possible for us to fly Why do we stand here and just watch the sky When so many others catch the wind We'll cut the anchors we've been draggin' 'round Laughin' running 'til we leave the ground Mama look no hands, it's really me Take off your coat, Take off your sweater And give your shoulders the sun Now strut your step, Don't it feel better Honey you're second to none You deserve it and you have for years Just gets lost under the oldest fears But it's always been here biding time You reveal it with the sweetest spell I could drink the water from your well Don't you ever hide it baby, Let it shine and I think maybe, Someone's sure to let it shine for you
