lyrics

I know there is a will in me
It runs right up my core
Right from my feet

It runs me out into the streets and in those I meet--it's not there
And with the planet prone to tilting,
The buck prone to passing
It's not clear
It's not clear

How could this mean
That I could lean
Without worrying about the weight?

I know there is a will in we
It runs as a current of electricity
It runs these lamps, the bread we eat and through our sheets--
It's there
It's there

Could this mean
That I could lean
Without worrying about the weight?
Could this mean
That I could--

Leaning towers seldom reach the clouds
And towers built on ideals seldom touch the ground
So we spread it out
And somehow balance is found

Could this mean
That I could lean
Without worrying about the weight?
