I'm not the pavement you're looking for 
I didn't come with a view 
And I wouldn't trade a box of rocks for things you think are worth 
enough to get a generation through 
I don't make my shape with your phony lines 
I won't sit down till I'm through 
And I take time because it's mine not so I can waste it on the things 
that I don't need to do 

I know what to look for in a wave 
Take a breath it'll be over soon 
And I'll do it with a whisper 
You won't even know that I'm in the room 
I'll do it with a whisper 

What you see is only what you see 
What you feel covers the rest 
Tell me why the things I see just don't make me feel like everybody 
wants to do there best 

I'm just trying to help you with your bags 

Take a breath it'll be over soon 
And I'll do it with a whisper 
You won't even know that I'm in the room 
I'll do it with a whisper 

I won't ride the tails that are going down 
when there's more to do 
and I know what to look for in a wave
