these things that we believe in, how fast they go away
we say we search for truth, but the truth is it's all a game
I can believe, what I believe, if I don't start to wear my heart on my sleeve
maybe I'll see clearly now that I'm awake
and I can see who you are, and you don't look the same

I'm singing it all around
shame never was my thing
I'm singing it all around
shame never was my thing

these clouds fill my head now
and I wish that they would go
I broke inside the illustion it's a ruse and it's all aglow
I don't see straight, I don't see fate, I hesitate
I love you more than you'll ever know, but it won't show
'cause the sky is falling, baby, and I'm the only one who knows

the prince will believe us, no one else will
no one knows our faith
the prince will believe us, no one else will
no one knows our face

we look through the mirror, and we try to see the other side
but ignorance is bliss where I come from, baby maybe we could just trade back our minds
here we are, here we are, here's your star, sitting by the side of the phone, wasting time
while the sky is falling baby, and no one's asking why

time spare the lucky ones, 'cause beauty is skin deep
I said take some time with the little ones, to teach them the truth
yeah, time spares the lucky ones, 'cause beauty is skin deep
I said take some time with the little ones, to teach them the truth

the man with the golden touch, well they criticized him when he'd shine
and the man who could see the future, well they all said he lost his mind
when you can see, when you can see, what'll it be? . . . a prophet by the side of the road with a homemade sign?
the sky is falling, baby, and no one's asking why

I'm singing it all around
shame never was my thing
I'm singing it all around
shame never was my thing

the prince will believe us, no one else will
no one knows our faith
the prince will believe us, no one else will
no on knows our faith

we don't die that easy, we don't, no . . .
we don't know, we don't know
we don't die that easy, we don't, no . . .
we don't know, no . . .

I'm singing it, I'm singing it all around
I'm singing it all around, all around, all around
I'm singing it all around, shame never was my thing
