Beginner's Mind

Hold on tight, beginner's mind
The wheel is spinning too
Fast to make your move
The worst must be assumedOh, how they'll try to pull and pry
Away what you know now, beat and beat it out
Leave the drum that makes no sound
A snuff film on a jumbo-tron for all the world to seeA cocktail napkin epitaph
Some psychobabble telegram
Message written in the sand
The tide rolls inSwear you'll do the opposite
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Who say that the experiment has failed
Don't go there, you're getting nowhere
You're getting nowhereStay a while, my inner child
I'd like to learn your tricks
Know what makes you tick
Nurse you when you're sickOh, how you've grown so cynical
Hard lines carved in your face
The sunshine's so cliche just like love and pain
You tried your best, the Rorschach test, but there is just nothing to seeHeard terabytes of perfect pitch
Some universal elegance
Stack the seventh and the fifth
Along the gridSwear you'll be the opposite
Of all those stilted hypocrites
You know what made you infamous to them
Don't you, you keep starting overKeep starting over
Keep starting over
You keep starting over
Keep starting over
You keep starting overHold on tight, beginner's mind
The current's far too strong
It would carry you along
'Til you're just like everyoneStay a while, my inner child
I'd like to learn your trick
To know what makes you tick
To nurse you when you're sick
