When you're fingered by self-doubt, my dear, | |
no-one is innocent or guilty. | |
Chained, your reaction when you're on the spot: | |
the flower of faith is wilting. | |
But if there's something that you've left behind | |
there'll be something else upcoming... | |
make what you will, the future happens; | |
now this is something that you just won't find till later. | |
No disillusion or despair will be defeat, | |
no simple disappointment should stay you | |
get up upon your feet, | |
(Don't you ever give up on me) | |
stand up: life is sweet | |
(I will never give up on you) | |
with will we'll all shine through... | |
(Don't you ever say "Can't", till you try you don't know quite what you can do.) | |
can do. | |
When the long wave of the future breaks | |
we're all transmitters and receivers, | |
babes, and we're swaddled in the changeling room. | |
If this is nothing less than mystic | |
and yet something more than strange | |
still there's nothing worth remembering | |
for tomorrow you could ever change... | |
I think you got it, | |
I think you got it, | |
it's in the pocket. | |
You know your place, you know your name, you got your slot, | |
you got the strength to be exactly what you want to. | |
With faith in faith intact, | |
(Don't you ever give up on me) | |
time to test the given facts: | |
(I will never give up on you) | |
when we wake we'll be made brand new | |
(Don't you ever say "Can't", if you know that's not true) | |
and I'll be there right beside you. | |
(Don't you ever say "Won't", when you know you'll pull through) | |
I believe in time we'll all shine through... | |
(Don't you ever say "Can't", till you try you don't know what you can do.) | |
Can do, | |
can do. | |
Don't you say you can't do it; till you try you don't know what you can do. | |
You say you can't do it – says who? |
When you' re fingered by selfdoubt, my dear, | |
noone is innocent or guilty. | |
Chained, your reaction when you' re on the spot: | |

But if there' s something that you' ve left behind | |
