It's up above my head It's way down in the mud It's not something that I said It's something in my blood It's up above my head It's somewhere in my kidney Somewhere in my red It's out there and it's in me
I don't know what it is I don't know what it is I don't know what it is But it's all that I have
It's not the bones under your skin Not the spelling of your name It's not the things you take inside before the rain It's not the shot of your gun Or the sugar in your cane It's not the tickets to the plays that you have seen It's not the reflection in the mirror Not the shining of your silver Not the most important things you think you've done And no, it's not what you have cancelled Not the calls you didn't answer It'll still be there when you are long time gone
I don't know what it is I don't know what it is I don't know what it is But it's all that I have
It's up above my head It's always and it's never It's me that's part of it A second in forever
