Not What You See Lyrics - Savatage

No life's so short it can't turn around 

You can't spend your life living underground 

For from above you don't hear a sound 

And I'm out here, waiting 

I don't understand what you want me to be 

It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am 

But I know that it's all that you see 

No life's so short that it never learns 

No flame so small that it never burns 

No page so sure that it never turns 

And I'm out here, waiting 

I don't understand what you want me to be 

It's the dark you're hating, it's not who I am 

But I know that it's all that you see

Can you live your life in a day, putting every moment in play? 

Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around 

Tell me if you win would it show - in a thousand years, who would know? 

As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground 

Can you live your life in a day (I've been waiting) 

Putting every moment in play? 

Never hear a word that they say (I don't understand what you want me to be) 

As the wheels go around 

Tell me if you win would it show (It's the dark you're hating) 

In a thousand years, who would know? 

As a million lives come and go (It's not who I am, but it is what you see) 

On this same piece of ground 

I've been waiting 

I don't understand what you want me to be 

It's the dark you're hating 

It's not who I am, but it is what you see

Can you live your life in a day 

Putting every moment in play? 

Never hear a word that they say 

As the wheels go around 

Tell me if you win would it show 

In a thousand years, who would know? 

As a million lives come and go 

On this same piece of ground 

Tell me would you really want to 

See me leave this night without you 

Would you ever look about you 

Wondering where we might be 

New York is so far away now 

Tokyo, Berlin and Moscow 

Only dreams from here but somehow 

One day that world we will see 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand 

I don't understand... 

I swear on tomorrow, if you take this chance 

Our lives are this moment, the music - the dance 

And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries 

I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see 

You're all that I see
