A E F#m D
Every cell is transforming and returning to original concepts to construct
A E F#m D
And then I started to shapeshift… and the animals within me grew tails and talons
A E F#m D
I hitched a ride on the back of a whale, to the darkest of the ocean and ate off the bottom
A E F#m D
And then I traveled dimensions… in the places I rode upon elephants and zebras…
A E F#m
D
Elephants and zebras…
A E
Well I dreamed of my future big time, yeah
F#m D
What it would be like to always have clean water
A E F#m D
And if you left the trees standing…and they filtered the air and we breathed it in deeply
A E F#m D
