Samuel
Laleh
[Interlude]
Samuel woke up from his sleep one night
by a vision from God
and he felt an urge to share his vision
with the rest of the world
and as many men before him
he was convinced that the truth should be spread
around the world by him
so he said goodbye to his family
and his home in the forest
for one in the city
his sister was worried
for the dissapointments he might face
and that he would grow sharp edges on his heart
and cause more scatteredness
than peace around him
but she did love him
and to soften his heart
she wrote him a letter, saying:
oh my tangerine
don't compare the worst in them,
with the best in you
only love can change us
brother Samuel
the city is crowded
and full of distractions
the people look proud
but they cry for affection
the city is crowded
and full of distractions
the people look proud
but they cry for affection
[end of Interlude]
oh my tangerine
though your heart is full, your pocket's clean
(keep them clean, keep them clean, clean of everything)
and when you're in the city go, as you cross the roads
please make sure
(that you watch the lights and at green you go)
don't be standing freezed
and over-amazed of their neon-lights
(if you stare, then your head will glow in the night)
don't forget the wolves
in the forest deep who sing at night
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't compare the worst in them
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't, with the best in you
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't compare the worst in them
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't, with the best in you
only love can change them, change us
brother Samuel
my big brother's going to the city
don't forget the trees
go and feel the leaves in your hand
(in your hand)
don't forget to wash and to clean your feet
in the open sea
(and compare, and compare yourself with the sea)
don't forget the bears
keep their noises inside your head
(keep them safe, keep them safe, it will keep you sane)
don't forget the wolves
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't compare the worst in them
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
with the best in you
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't compare the worst in them
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
don't, with the best in you
only love can change them, change us
brother Samuel
my big brother's going to the city
my big brother's going to the city
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
Samuel, Samuel, Samuel, Samuel
