lyrics

When I was a boy I learned that I was a flatlander.
When you had your sculptures and melodies,
I had a line that I drew on a paper.

This is my elegance, this is my beauty.
This is my making sense, this is how I speak truly.
I don't have lyrics and I don't have clay,
but I have a calling I bow to each day, don't you?

Can you believe that I am an artist, just like you?
To you it is color and gesture, but for me it's number,
But it's all just a seashell.

This is my elegance, this is my beauty.
This is my making sense, this is how I speak truly.
I don't have rhythm and I don't have paint,
but I have a lifetime to watch as the waves crash down.

It's all about all of the different ways of speaking, I thought you would know
that in the end we're all of us trying to lift ourselves
off of this paper.

This is my elegance, this is my beauty.
This is my making sense, this is how I speak truly.
None of us knows if we'll ever be heard,
but we all have lives that we'll turn into words someday.
