Quit seein’ what ain’t,

See what is

Quit seein’ what ain’t

See what is

Your only job as far as I’m concerned until I see you

Stay alive

Whatever you gotta do to stay alive until I see you

Do that

Sometimes I talk as though I wanna lock you up inside a cage but that is only ‘cause I wanna make sure you’ll still be there

When I come around

Sometimes I torture myself

It’s a rough game, that we play

But I wouldn’t have it any other way

Quit seein what ain’t

See what is

Quit seein who ain’t

See who is

Quit seein how many ain’t

See how many is

Quit seein’ what ain’t

See what is

If I am stuck it doesn’t mean you gotta be stuck, although, oftentimes, it seems that’s how it goes

Maybe we’re connected

By billions of strings

Our bodies are connected

Just one of those funny things

Quit seein what ain’t

See what is

Quit seein what ain’t

See what is

Quit seein what ain’t

See how many is

Quit seein what ain’t

See what is

Your only job as far as I’m concerned until I see you

Stay alive

Whatever you gotta do to keep yourself alive until I see you

Do that

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
