The cloud cover shifts like the rolling sand
Shadows reaching farther than I ever have
And the square of moonlight shining through my curtains
Keeps me dreaming of who I want to be
I wanna be
A trail of passengers following sparks after a fire
I wanna be
A rainbow after rainfall and a woodpecker disturbing the silence
Among the trees so uniform and tall like soldiers
Protecting life beneath
And these back road lanes are overtaken
By a camera flash and cruise control
And the world may not agree with my opinion
But it seems that people are happier when they have a story to tell
And I wanna be
A clock that's ticking backwards and the fog that rolls over the moon
I wanna be
A symphony of crickets singing throughout the night their song
I wanna be the harmony that always sings along
As the trees beckon me
Let me gain the label of being a sunset chaser
Let me wake up early to watch the sunrise
Let me run after the shadows that always seem to leave me behind
Let me run and fly
Cuz I wanna be
A trail of passengers following sparks after a fire
And I wanna be
A rainbow after rainfall and a woodpecker disturbing the silence
Among the trees so uniform and tall like soldiers
Protecting life beneath
