[Intro]
Mm-mm-mm
[Verse 1]
When I wake up, I think of the sea
And another world in this world starts to call to me
I think of where I am and where I could be
What have I been doin' to change my destiny?
When I grow up, I want to be
A man of rain and fire, always burnin'
[Chorus]
But there's so much water, don't know if I can swim it
Reach the island that I need to find
All of the forces that push me to the limit
Stop me in reachin' my power of mind
[Verse 2]
In a crowded room, a flower can still die
But if I asked you if you were lonely, would you smile or wonder why?
Is a stranger strange 'cause he asks your namе and you're frightened?
Do you only wanna talk to pеople that you already know?
Now is it love that's on your mind?
Or just a dream that I can't find?
When I grow up, you know I want to be
A man of rain and fire, always burnin'
[Chorus]
But there's so much water, don't know if I can swim it
To reach the island that I need to find
All of the forces that push me to the limit
Stop me in reachin' my power of mind
[Verse 3]
And as I move to what I understand
Orientation takes a strange design
Doors that won't open and mystifyin' visions
Ms. Understanding, Mr. Oversight
Communication's the key and we can get it
Recognize it and receive the light
[Break]
Shine!
Hey, hey
Gon-da-lay, gon-ya, gon-da-lay
Gon-da-lay, gon-ya, gon-da-lay
Gon-da-lay, gon-ya, gon-da-lay
Gon-da-lay, gon-ya, gon-da-lay
Gon-da-lay, gon-ya, gon-da-lay
Ga-la-la-da-lay, gon-ya
[Verse 4]
And as I walk away, I look to the sky
And I seem to know the answer to my questions why
I think of where I've been and where I'll soon be
And all that I've been wishin' to let me be free
But is it love that's on your mind?
Or just a dream that I can't find?
And when I grow up, you know I'm gon' to be
A man of rain and fire, always burnin'
[Chorus]
'Cause there's so much water, and I know that I can swim it
To reach the island that I need to find
All of the forces that push me to the limit
Can't stop me in reachin' my power of mind
[Verse 5]
And as I look for what I understand
I see the answer lies in my own hand
Doors that won't open, and mystifyin' visions
Ms. Understanding, Mr. Oversight
Communication's the key and we can get it
Recognize it and receive the light
Recognize it and receive the light
Recognize it and receive the light
Oh-woo-oh, see the light
Come and see the light, hey
Come and see the light, hey
Come and see the light, hey
See the light
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey, bah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Yeah, come and be the light
Come and be the light
