The Flood
Katie Melua
Broken people get recycled
and I hope that I will sometimes be thrown off the pathways
what I thought was my way home
wasn’t the place I know
No, I’m not afraid of changing,
Certain, nothing’s certain
what we own becomes our prison
my possessions will be gone
back to where they came from
blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
See the rock that you hold onto
is it gonna save you
when the earth begins to crumble?
why’d you feel you have to hold on?
imagine if you let go
blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
flush away the weight that pulls you down

Light the ways that freed from the dust
[flush away the weight that pulls you down]
don’t trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave a prison
[Light the ways that free from the dusk]
don’t trust your mind
its not always listening
turn on the lights
and feel the ancient rhythm
don’t trust your eyes
its easy to believe them [no one is to blame]
know in your heart [as natural as the rain]
that you can leave your prison [here comes the Flood again]
blame
no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand eyes are watching
Marching home and no one’s touching
Army of the city workers
Secretaries, lawyers, brokers
Heading for a London station
Heading for a quick salvation
Oblivious to cherry cola
Trying to sell to every stranger
Stuck here it’s cold I’m standing
Hoping for some understanding
Only way to go is inside
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
Seven thousand light years travel
Let my sense of time unravel
Trapped feelings are never ending
Send those weaknesses descending
Towards the earth’s red centre
Let the fire rise and enter
Tap into the primal power
Rising like a giant tower
The energy receiving
Cut a hole right through the ceiling
People getting smaller as you fly
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy
I’m going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy Place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
Find a star, send down a beam to where you are
An elevator of light taking you somewhere
Where you’ll always be loved
I have found that stress and nonsense
Puts me in zone of avoidance
Could my mind be moving faster
Pulling like a super cluster
Can be hard to trust a feeling
But believing ends in seeing
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy
We’re going to find a happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
(I’m gonna find a happy place) A happy place
