They say Amadeus simply wrote down what he heard
Not a single change, not a second thought
He must have been one worthy vessel
I don't know, maybe if I let go a lot

But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning
Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme
And once in a while when heaven smiles on me
I get to watch them shine, they shine

Someday the words will flow like water
They'll make perfect sense with every melody
I'll be hard pressed to sing them all
So awash in songs I'll be

But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning
Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme
And once in a while when heaven smiles on me
I get to watch them shine, they shine

It's worth it every single chance
I get to do this crazy dance
You'd think by now I'd know just how it goes
I do not know!

Somedays I feel like I'm wasting my time
It's all smoke never any light
All my life I've prayed to be a fire in the darkness
I don't know maybe one day I just might

But till then I'll scratch for every bit of meaning
Till then I'll wrestle every rhyme
And once in a while when heaven smiles on me
I get to watch them shine, they shine
