You took your time to speak your mind Took every chance to disagree Talked late night talks, walked midnight walks To find out what you wanna be The same old lies just compromise No angry voice amongst the crowd A world of people keeping quiet as they're told You were the one to speak out loud I wonder how the world would be If everyone could see what you could see Na, give me a sign, you're still a friend of mine ♪ No cash in hand, no promised land Could ever put your mind at ease When you made fun of all that stardom and fame They said that you were hard to please I wonder how the world would be If everyone could see what you could see Na, never in line, you're still a friend of mine ♪ We need the stubborn little child That keeps the naked emperors from running wild So we might start to talk about what we don't dare to see And maybe find the child in you and me You took your time to speak your mind Until the truth was plain to see We're run by maniacs by maniac means And only love will set us free I wonder how the world would be If everyone could see what you could see Yeah, never in line Pearls before swine After all this time, you're still a friend of mine
