Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some things I've done make my conscious burn My very spine shutter and squirm I only hope that I've learned From my sin I heard a voice when I was thirteen Got baptized and washed up clean But the world has a way if you know what I mean Of scuffing you up again And again [Chorus] I can't explain a blessed thing Not a fallen star or a feathered wing Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing Just one thing is clear to me There's always more than what appears to be And when the light's just right, I swear I see Poetry [Verse 2] Now somebody made everything From the soul inside, out to Saturn's wings How my baby smiles and how Ray Charles sings Of course, we were created The clouds make rain, the ocean makes sand The earth breathes fire and lava makes land Now that took a mighty hand And a wild imagination Yup [Chorus] I can't explain a blessed thing Not a fallen star or a feathered wing Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing Like a bird, no Just one thing is clear to me There's always more than what appears to be And when the light's just right, I swear I see (See) Poetry [Verse 3] The dreams I dreamed came back ten fold The friends I have, the woman I hold I look down and I'm on a street of gold After all the mud along the way Sometimes the big old mystery just leans right in on me And whispers, "I am home and I am free" And I'll take that any day Any day [Chorus] I can't explain a blessed thing Not a fallen star or a feathered wing Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing I'll fly away Just one thing is clear to me There's always more than what appears to be And when the light's just right, I swear I see (See, yeah) Poetry [Outro] 'Round the corner, there's poetry Down the block, yeah (Just one thing is clear to me) On the other side of the road (There's always more than what appears to be) And just above my head, yeah Hey (Just one thing is clear to me) (There's always more than what appears to be) (Just one thing is clear to me) (There's always more than what appears to be)
