Bread

Well you take a little bread
You put it in the oven
You wait a little while
Give it lots of lovin'
It'll rise and open up some too
It's not an act of faith my dear
It's true

But you never learn what you've been told
You had to dive to find that gold
And down below the surface you'll construe
In the deepest waters is the most beautiful view

Oh you could fly
You got those wings
You tie them down with earthly things
And treat them like they don't belong to you

Oh we've all learned to hide them well
The secret that we never tell
Is usually the one that makes us blue
All the way through

Oh you can't pretend that this is small
The path to joy leads down this hall
The world outside ain't as grim as you assume

But it's dinner time and you're still locked in your room

Oh but you could fly
You got those wings

You hold them down with heavy things
And ancient thoughts you string together too
Oh we've all learned to hide them well

The secrets that we never tell
Are usually the ones that make us blue
All the way through

But that darkness doesn't hold
If you let the world unfold in its own time
Relax your anxious will
Just a crack of light could fill your weary mind
And then lay your head upon these words
And let your tired heart rest assured
Certain rules are never gonna let you lose
Come on baby
Ain't you heard the news?

Oh you could fly
You got those wings
You hold them down with earthly things
And treat them like they don't belong to you
Oh we've all learned to hide them well
The secret that we never tell
Is usually the one that makes us blue
All the way through

So just take a little bread
Put it in the oven
Wait a little while
Give it lots of lovin'
It'll rise and open up some too
It's not an act of faith my dear
It's true

In the deepest waters is the most beautiful view
Oh baby, baby, baby
It's just the truth
