lyrics

I'm having a hard time imagining
The soul in this here machine
There's too much chrome, there's too much sheen
There's too much processing
Give me a brush, give me some paint
I want to color it lush, paint against the grain
I want to be able to give the still some life
I want to be moving you moving me

Sing me a pretty melody and I'll try to sing along
No one way to harmonize when it's our own song
Our own song

I look around me, all I see seems drab
Flowers wilting, situations seem so sad
Milling and mulling, dragging their shoes
Nobody appears to hear the music like I do
I want to get them to listen to what's in front of them
I want to put a beat to their step
If you want these gifts you've gotta open up
How else am I to share this sunshine?

Sing me a pretty melody and I'll try to sing along
No one way to harmonize when it's our own song
Our own song

Sunshine's such a lovely sight
Permeating all you'll find if you've got open eyes
Happiness, well that's just a state of mind
It's your choice if you let it fall behind
But it's so beautiful on this side of the green
I'll share a dance if you'll just share your feet
I'll share a tune if you'll just share your voice
I want you to hear the music that I hear

Sing me a pretty melody and I'll try to sing along
No one way to harmonize when it's our own song
Sing me a pretty melody and I'll try to sing along
No one way to harmonize when it's our own song
Our own song
Our own song
