Where? Lyrics

Waters rise up on the freeway
While little hands are clapping in the snow
And in the tree, there lives a blackbird
Singing songs not meant for anyone below

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Mm, mm

And all the prisoners in their prisons
Dream beyond the bars they cannot see
Only the feel of being captured
Is keeping them contented in captivity

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Who will we be when we are older
And the earth is spinning faster on its side?
Will you still read the constellations
And hope that all you know is somehow trapped in time?

Where goes the wave when it hits the shore?
What thinks the particle as it's rushing to the core?

We will keep dancing through tomorrow
Like lovers spinning in the air
Oh, where? Where?
Where can we be free
If to be free means learning not to care?
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Mm, mm-mm-mm
