I put my head into the sand
I didn't wanna see the ghost no more
It came unannounced and burned in my mind
Now I'm afraid of what I'll think of next
And if I keep my head submerged under the ground
Then maybe it's already gone
But no matter how far I bury myself, I can still hear a voice, I hear it say

When you see with your new eyes
You'll know the old with a new mind
What a beautiful morning
Free your chemical warfare
I do believe that that's how it'll be
Rise from your grave, as if out of a dream

You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me
Say Yes, Say Yes

I took my head out of the sand
And put it right into the Lion's jaws
He carried me in his mouth to a stream of rushing water
And told me to swim across
I told him I didn't know how to swim
And he said, "There's no other way, and there's no other stream"
And he said, "There's no other way, and there's no other stream”

Say Yes, Say Yes

When you see with your new eyes
You'll know the old with a new mind
What a beautiful morning
Free your chemical warfare
I do believe that that's how it'll be
Rise from your grave, as if out of a dream

You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me
Say Yes
Say Yes to the fear
And Yes to the trembling
Yes to the lifting up your eyes to see
Say Yes, Say Yes

You will be the one escaping through the fire, excavating me
