lyrics

That's why fish stay in the ocean
Safe and wet within the wave
That's why man shows such devotion
To the shadows of his cave
That's why I'm climbing for the surface—
I never mattered much to me
I never really knew just where i was going to
But now that i am blind i see

That's why the train stays on a steel rail
Restrained to never run astray
That's why, if even should her wheel fail, ever forward is her way
That's why, tho engine goes where chosen,
My word and will and world are free
I would much rather make the very greatest of mistakes
Than let my mind be made for me

That's why salvation just sounds crazy
What's the world need saving from?
That's why the satisfied get lazy
Forgetting what they could become
That's why, when death comes i'll be drumming
Humming my spirit's melody
I will not really care, when or why or how or where
Only who i can claim to be
