I found myself in a cloud
But I have been this way before
I know these houses
I've pummeled on these people's doors
This place had changed
It's unrecognizable
But I can tell these people's fears
I see it flashing in their eyes
As they are passing me by
Making their way
Down
Down
Down to the water's edge
And drown
Drown
And drown their river's worth of tears there
Doesn't make them any happier
I want to share some of their grief
My hands outstretched for them to see
But they don't notice me
They just walk right past through me
I want to tell them that I bring back
The thing that they've waited for all these years
But they seem to have given up hope
Having shed their share of tears
Making their way
Down...
I tried to find a way
To make them see all these things that I've been seeing
To make them believe all the things
That I've so struggled to believe in
But they don't seem to see the whole picture yet
They can raise their eyes up to the sky
And see me make my way
This time that I'm ascending
I am never coming back
So you can go
Down...
