How many times must I die?
And how many times must I stay alive?
When I see all the clouds in the sky
I want to join them
What kind of love does it take
When it's all I can do just to stay awake?
Despite the mistakes that I make
I want to join them
But I don't know much about perfection
And life's not as simple as it sometimes seems
I don't always follow the rules, and I guess
That I'm not an enlightened being
My critics are making a fuss
Someday there'll be nothing left to discuss
But until then I guess that I must
Find the strength to join them
How many years till I die?
And how many years till I learn to fly?
After chasing the clouds in the sky
I'll finally join them
But I don't know much about perfection
And life's not as simple as it sometimes seems
I don't always follow the rules, and I guess
That I'm not an enlightened being
