This song was the album’s opener and its second single. The band said it was a tribute to the Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy due to the low sounding melodies sung by Bruce Dickinson that are reminiscent of those of Lizzy’s Phil Lynott.
The lyrics are about how everyone sees the world in different...
[Verse 1]
You lead me on the path, keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost, a little strange today
I think I'll take a hold of whatever comes my way
Then we'll see what happens, take it day-by-day
[Verse 2]
I thought I had it all, I had it all worked out
Just what the future held, that there would be no doubt
But then the card came up and I took another turn
But I don't know if it's fulfillment that I yearn
[Chorus]
Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way
To view the world
I would like you to know
When you see the simple things
To appreciate this life
It's not too late to learn
[Bridge]
Don't wanna be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I might find it's not for me
[Chorus]
Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way
To view the world
I would like you to know
When you see the simple things
To appreciate this life
It's not too late to learn
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way
To view the world
I would like you to know
When you see the simple things
To appreciate this life
It's not too late to learn
[Bridge]
Don't wanna be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I might find it's not for me
[Outro]
Don't know what I want
Or where I want to be
Feeling more confused
The more the days go by

Adrian Smith:
It’s kind of a riff I had, but I had it in a totally different format. I played it to Steve [Harris] and we straightened out the time. I think it was in like 7/4 before, and we straightened it out to 4/4. I think it was the fir...
