Drywood

Cat Stevens

You've got to learn
To brighten up your ways
Kick out your dull padded life
There's much to know
And no doors in space
They were only mirrors
You imagined in your mind
Now that you've got no place to go
And you stand alone
Know that there's just one place to be
And it's in your soul, oh

Like drywood takes to fire
The truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean
They will find ways through
Like morning meets the moon
My love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now, and awake
I've come to take you over
There's much for you to do
I've come to take you over, then it's up to you

Be like the light, in the shadows
Throw down your mask and be real
Don't wish to win, and don't mind to lose
That was just a cycle like a squirrel in a wheel
Now that you've got no place to look
And you stand alone
Know that's there's just one place to be
And it is your home, oh

Like fish that seek the water
The truth will come to you
Like leaves upon the soil
They will find ways through
Like flowers seek the sun
My love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes now, and awake

You say you're really with me
But you only follow me around
How much you love me yes,
But I don't want the kind of love
I have to sit down and count
You think you're free and lucky
But you're stuck behind a prison wall
How well you know yourself
But I see something else within you
That you don't see at all
You may give up your number
Disowning all your wealth
You may sell all the pieces
But you'll never never never
Give up yourself
Oh no no no.

Like drywood takes to fire
The truth will come to you
Like streams that seek the ocean
They will find ways through
Like morning meets the night's stars
My love will guide the way
It's time to wipe your eyes not, and awake
I've come to take you over
There's much for you to do
I've come to take you over, then it's up to you
