lyrics

First I met a man, he tried to count the stars
He figured they were his, and he made it his whole business
Couldn't look away for fear of losing count
And so he never learned they were something he could do without

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know

The next man that I met had a different kind of fear
By focusing on maps he got stuck sitting there
And I'm not sure if he had ever left his chair
But he knew plenty of stories of others who had dared

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know
To get what you're after there's some things you'll have to let go
As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show

Then I met a king as kind as kind could be
But he reveled in his power and rained/reigned over the sea
It was my burden to bear, to deliver him the news
That his obedient ocean was faithful to the moon

For all of the trying and fighting you can't make it so
There is no use in crying, there's some things we may never know
To get what you're after there's some things you'll have to let go
As for me, I will wait in the meantime for changes to show
