Jonathan Randol - Pandora lyrics
rate meLike dandelions I picked you in the springtime<br />
Like vibrant yellow dancers spinning always to the sunlight<br />
Like answers we weren't looking for silences I can't ignore<br />
Solar systems ringing with the same rhyme.<br />
<br />
Our ancestors left us all their bone tools<br />
Fire making medicine their shamans and their fools<br />
A clay jar filled with all we hid<br />
With hope still trapped beneath the lid<br />
Multiple choice answers waiting for us to choose.<br />
<br />
But I haven't found what you're looking for<br />
Though I've looked hard and I've traveled far<br />
But like you I've heard that somewhere<br />
Hope's alive inside a jar.<br />
<br />
Like sunlight reflected off that other ball<br />
Starlight shines from somewhere not so far at all<br />
Like diamonds in the rough you say<br />
You see them sparkle anyway<br />
Saving all your quarters but there's no one to call<br />
<br />
This ball has dropped more than once they say<br />
All of these changes rearranging the same thing<br />
Interplay of molecules, breaking gold and silver rules<br />
Facing the sky but we still got no wings<br />
<br />
Things are not the object of this game<br />
This game we keep playing and playing the same<br />
As the day the rain came and washed us away<br />
I heard you say that you're glad that the sun came<br />
<br />
It's a shame to waste this taste tested guess<br />
Icons fake their make shift access<br />
Holding the key to the door<br />
You look at me and I see that your sure<br />
As we both make our way with our crimes to confess<br />
<br />
But I haven't found what you're looking for<br />
Though I've looked hard and I've traveled far<br />
But like you I've heard that somewhere<br />
Hope's alive inside a jar.<br />
<br />
I think I know what you're going thru<br />
So this suitcase full of ashes I brought back for you<br />
Somehow I feel it might help you to deal<br />
But now I think it's time that you found out the truth<br />
That youth is not the tonic that you thought it was<br />
Running from the source of pain but never far enough<br />
It's hard to keep the edge of reason<br />
Even when your fine creation<br />
Is covered<br />
Is covered with rust.<br />
<br />
I haven't found what you're looking for<br />
Though I've looked hard and I've traveled far<br />
But like you I've heard that somewhere<br />
Hope's alive inside a jar.<br />
<br />
I haven't found what you're looking for<br />
Though I've looked hard and I've traveled far<br />
But like you I've heard that somewhere<br />
Hope's alive inside a jar.<br />
<br />
Hope's alive, <br />
Hope's alive, <br />
Hope's alive... inside a jar.
