Lyric Science
I have my thoughts to position
But do I know how to act?
I have no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I learn all I can
And mean all I understand
As a way of giving
I m a piece of the earth
I take no offence
I can be who I am
I have no pretence
Only to what you can be
If you want to be
It s a way of living
I ve got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain doesn t make me no higher
Putting on gloves don t make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn t make it science
So grab a piece in the air
Try an make it sing
Try and be who you can
It s the real, real thing
I m into what you can be
If you want to be
As a way of living
I ve got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can t do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn t make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn t make it science
But do I know how to act?
I have no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I learn all I can
And mean all I understand
As a way of giving
I m a piece of the earth
I take no offence
I can be who I am
I have no pretence
Only to what you can be
If you want to be
It s a way of living
I ve got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain doesn t make me no higher
Putting on gloves don t make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn t make it science
So grab a piece in the air
Try an make it sing
Try and be who you can
It s the real, real thing
I m into what you can be
If you want to be
As a way of living
I ve got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can t do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn t make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn t make it science
