On the Surface

Doctor, look around you
Most people don't come down to
They stay up there and it's a shame
See, we walk underneath them
But so far from beneath them
The value doesn't match the face, no...
On the surface people pass right by like they're alone
Don't they care to see what's in my heart?
Walking fast like they've got somewhere better they could go
Missing out on everything we are

But we've got dreams and they're gonna find us
Underground in our soul that's what defines us
You could discover a world hiding underneath
But they only see what's on the surface

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

People don't learn like you do
One look, they make their own truth
But they don't even know my name and don't care to
I've read a thousand books but never got a second look
That told me that I deserve a place, what would you do?
On the surface there's value in another
How come we're still judging books by their covers?
If this is harmony then what are we supposed to do?

But we've got dreams and they're gonna find us
Underground in our soul that's what defines us
You could discover a world hiding underneath
But they only see what's on the surface

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

I grew up in Park Lane
I never had a home
On the surface I feel see-through like I'm a ghost
Don't know how but somehow we all end up down here
Yeah
Yeah
We've got dreams
Yeah, we've got dreams
Yeah

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

We've got dreams and they're gonna find us
Underground in our soul, that's what defines us
You could discover a world hiding underneath
But they only see what's on the surface
They only see what's on the surface
