They say Amadeus simply wrote down what he heard Not a single change, not a second thought He must have been one worthy vessel I don't know, maybe if I let go a lot But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme And once in a while when heaven smiles on me I get to watch them shine, they shine Someday the words will flow like water They'll make perfect sense with every melody I'll be hard pressed to sing them all So awash in songs I'll be But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme And once in a while when heaven smiles on me I get to watch them shine, they shine It's worth it every single chance I get to do this crazy dance You'd think by now I'd know just how it goes I do not know! Somedays I feel like I'm wasting my time It's all smoke, never any light All my life I've prayed to be a fire in the darkness I don't know maybe one day I just might But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme And once in a while when heaven smiles on me I get to watch them shine, they shine
