On the outside looking in /
I've never been able to crack the code /
To break the secret spell /
That would open up the door and let me in /
To everything I've been looking for so hard I've never seen
But I feel my strength returning tonight /
Its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
Out into an ocean where the sharks are circling /
a carnival of counterfeits has no room for something real
arrogance and ego wrapped around every word /
shouted from the pulpit as a judgment to control /
these were my roots my seed was thrown in shallow soil /
I grew into the thorn bushes to be scorched by the sun /
but I feel the gravel move beneath my feet /
the smell of the gasoline mixed in with the trees /
when my faith is strong I know my strength /
the threats will be screamed when the vultures fell threatened
so I'll open up the door and let you in /
I want to break the alabaster smell the sweet perfume /
and when the bottle is broken I'll have nothing left to give /
I'll know I'll already have everything worth having /
but I feel my strength returning tonight /
its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
out into and ocean where the sharks are circling /
a carnival of counterfeits want to crucify something real
The cool outro on D goes like this

There you go guys, this is a great tune and if you could play the harmonica
with it you'd be amazing. Props to Rocky!
