Wisdom, like water, runs down to my feet The more that you tell me, the less I can sleep Time is a weapon that takes every man Oh let me be young, I won't understand Rise up like smoke, let the air choke Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go Rise up the sea, oh let me be And let the waves crash over me (And let the waves crash over me) (And let the waves crash over me) Let go of reasons, surrender to fate The apple of Eden is all yours to taste Nobody's perfect and things will be rough Love conquers all, so let there be love Rise up like smoke, let the air choke Mountains come crumbling down, oh let them go Rise up the sea, oh, let me be Rise up the sea, oh, let me be And let the waves crash over me Rise up the sea, oh, let me be And let the waves crash over me Rise up the sea, oh, let me be And let the waves crash over me
