Not What You See Lyrics

Savatage Not What You See

No life's so short it can't turn around
You can't spend your life living underground
For from above you don't hear a sound

And I'm out here
Waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am
But I know that it's all that you see

No life's so short that it never learns
No flame so small that it never burns
No page so sure that it never turns

And I'm out here
Waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be

It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am
But I know that it's all that you see

Can you live your life in a day
Putting every moment in play
Never hear a word that they say
As you watch the wheels go around

Tell me if you win would it show
In a thousand years who would know
As a million lives come and go
On this same piece of ground

I've been waiting
I don't understand what you want me to be
It's the dark you're hating
It's not who I am
But I know that it's all that you see

Tell me would you really want to
See me leave this night wihtout you
Would you ever look about you
Wondering where we might be

New York is so far away now
Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow
Only dreams from here but somehow
One day that world we will see

I don't understand
I don't understand

I swear on tomorrow
If you take this chance
Our lives are this moment
The music, the dance
And here in this labyrinth
Of lost mysteries
I close my eyes on this night
And you're all that I see

You're all that I see...
