They had me hangin' on a hook
It was takin' me down the line
I just wanted to free myself
But they said, "Son, you're doin' fine"
I was frightened by the chasm
Yawning at my feet
But I knew I'd lost my way
Livin' on a dead end street
Please help me see
What I was meant to be
I've been chewed up and spit out
I've been knocked down by the breeze
But you helped me to my feet
You got me off my knees
You said: "A touchstone is a timebomb
Touch it and you'll know
How much time you've wasted
And how far you still have to go"
You helped me see
What I was meant to be
I've heard ancient whispers
About a cosmic plan
I just want to find my place
In the destiny of man
The astrologers say harmonize
With all the stars above
You say all you need to do
Is make all your choices from love
That's how to be
What you were meant to be
There's real life to be lived
It's your life
Take the step
Though there's nowhere to go there this time
On your mark
It's easy to catch a rainbow
We're riding an elephant
And everything is all right
