Mary Chapin Carpenter - What You Look For Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • What you look for on a dirty street
  • Is a patch of green beneath your feet
  • A stubborn weed or a traveling rose
  • Either one 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 a seed that lands inside the cracks
  • Seek the sun and it shines back
  • 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
  • And what you look for now that you are grown
  • Is proof of how time has flown
  • An empty house, a strand of grey
  • And an endless longing 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 and storm the barricades
  • What you look for in your darkest hour
  • Is a dirty street with just a flower...
  • Send it out not knowing where it went
  • Into 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 a seed that lands inside the cracks
  • Seek the sun and it shines back
  • It shines back
