Revelation
Dakona Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But tomorrow will be longer maybe
Indecision rising up like steam
From an early morning highway
If things were different everything might work itself out fine
I'd like to see right through the windows in your mind
I know that everyone's got something up their sleeve
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give it up I think I've had enough
I'm praying for a revelation
Could you set me free 'cause this is killing me
I'm begging for a revelation
And I know that you know the way
Twenty-one and the lifeboat is starting to sink
Yeah the water's rushing over my faith
Growing tired of living life on my knees
Yeah, I'm begging for some mercy
If things were different everything might work itself out fine
I'd like to see right through the windows in your mind
I know that everyone's got something up their sleeve
So what have you got for me and my baby
[Chorus]
