lyrics

all we need is a little place
of our own
all we need is a little space
to call home
all we need is a little time
all alone
to see through the dark
and so it starts

all we need is a little bit
more
all I need is what I didn't have
before
all I need is a slightly higher score
to win my share
to make it fair

I never believed in money
I never wanted power
but here I find myself
building a rich man's tower

roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
see I know how to move quick
but I don't know where I'm going
roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
I'm not joking I have no idea
no idea where I am
no idea where I am

all I wanted was a chance
my own way through
all I wanted was a role at pace
at the front of the race
where I turn into the one
they turn to
to make that risky call
to a nod from an old man
who has seen it once before
and sensed that change in the air
that would play
that the stories would say
that he stood up
with an empty hand in the air

I never believed in money
I never wanted power
but here I find myself
defending a rich man's tower

roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
see I know how to move quick
but I don't know where I'm going
roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
I'm not joking I have no idea
no idea where I am
no idea where I am

if I'm a sailor
in the making
then you are a lighthouse
of safety
well I'm a sailor
forsaking
set fire to the mast
I'll go where it takes me
I'll go where it takes me

I never believed in money
I never wanted power
but here I find myself
dying on a rich man's tower

roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
see I know how to move quick
but I don't know where I'm going
roll up
come see the man
who's chasing after the wind
I'm not joking I have no idea
no idea where I am
no idea where I am
