Denims and curls Is this all that you are No I think there's something more Behind that barricaded door Are you hiding in a bedroom singing away To someone else's tunes Are you frightened by the forces We've unleashed in all our passion Those who see you Never see And those who hear you Never hear They're just the way they'll always be You'd better run little boy Run little girl Run little girl
Sack cloth and curls Is this all that you are Is this all that others see Are they blind as well as stupid They can lock you away Just for thinking out loud And throw away the key No one's caring how you feel Or what is or isn't real This foolish world Will hold you down Screw your feet into the ground But they can't take away the stars Just like that night on the sands I was there too I held your hand
Where in the world is your inspiration To say the things you're aching to say Where in the world is your inspiration To say the things you're aching to say Wherever that turns out to be Go there this day That's what my teacher said to me
You'd better run little boy Run little girl
This foolish world will hold you down Screw your feet into the ground But they can't take away the stars Just like that night on the sands I'll be there too I'll hold your hand
Where in the world is your inspiration To say the things you're aching to say Where in the world is your inspiration To say the things you're aching to say Wherever that turns out to be Go there this day That's what my teacher said to me That's what my teacher told me to say
