It's All About You (from album Do What You Do, 2004)
Hippies made folks nervous We were gypsies with a purpose We refused to scratch The belly of the beast We vowed to right the wrong There was conviction in our song I believed we were on the road To love and peace
But the best-laid plans of mice and men Were shattered once again This old world don't spin On a blind man's point of view It ain't about me, it's all about You
You're the reason false is false And true is true You're the reason red is red And blue is blue It don't matter what I thought I knew It ain't about me, it's all about You
It seems like the greatest resistance In our struggle for existence Comes when darkness Steals away our inspiration It's a young man's demise When the fire leaves his eyes And it seems his dreams Are just hallucinations
I've seen folks in that darkest of places I turned away from the hurt in their faces 'Cause there are things That a man cannot undo But this ain't about me, It's all about You
You're the reason false is false And true is true You're the reason red is red And blue is blue I could never make an old heart new But this ain't about me, it's all about You
You're the reason false is false And true is true You're the reason red is red And blue is blue I can't believe I didn't have a clue Slowly it's all coming into view It ain't about me, it's all about You
