Album - Come Away With Me
Lyrics - Above Ground
A butterfly flies through the forest rain And turns the wind into a hurricane, yeah I know that it will happen 'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance The certainty of chance A schoolboy yawns, sits back, and hits return While 'round the world, computers crash and burn, yeah I know that it will happen 'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance The certainty of chance The certainty of chance And I believe, I can see it all so clearly now You must go and I must set you free 'Cause only that will bring you back to me, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh I know that it will happen I'm sure that it must happen Oh I know it's gonna happen Because I believe in the certainty of chance The certainty of chance The certainty of chance
(Spoken) Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs on me. Peace frightens me. Perhaps I fear it most of all. I feel it's only a facade, hiding the face of hell. I think of what's in store for my children tomorrow; The world will be wonderful , they say; but from whose viewpoint? We need to live in a state of suspended animation, like a work of art; in a state of enchantment... detached. Detached.
