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
