作词 : CARPENTER, MARY
What you look for on a dirty street
Is a patch of green beneath your feet
A stubborn weed or traveling rose
Either one, it lives to grow
What you look for in a stranger's eyes
Is if he sees through your disguise
How we long to be revealed
To be known we might be healed
Send it out into the universe
A humble plea, a wish, a broken verse
Be the seed that lands inside the cracks
Seek the sun and it shines back
It shines backs
What you looked for when you were a girl
Was a window out into the world
From a speeding car or a passing train
You were hypnotized just the same
What you look for now that you are grown
Is proof of how the time has flown
An empty house, a strand of grey
And an endless long for yesterday
Send it out into the great elsewhere
A kind of hope, a chant, a simple prayer
Be the child whose dreams won't ever fade
Shout the storm that barricades
What you look for in your darkest hour
Is a dirty a street or just a flower
Send it out not knowing where it went
To the blue, into the firmament
Be the one who wonders at it all
Send it out into the universe
A humble plea, a wish, a broken verse
Be the seed that lands inside the cracks
Seek the sun and it shines back
It shines back
