I have finally come to realise
Child, don't do what I have done
Cut my nose to spite my face
And made my own odds ten thousand to one
I saw the empire slowly fade away
Tried to grasp it with my hand
Then I saw that it was not up to me
I'm just one tiny, tiny grain of sand
Chorus:
Oh, sweet release
Oh, how you soothe me
When I let go
I love how you use me
I have finally come to realise
It's in the doing, in the doing that we find
A certain way that we can live our lives
And obtain some peace of mind
Chorus:
Oh, sweet release
Oh, how you soothe me
And when I let go, and when I let go
I love how you use me
I have finally come to realise
It's in the doing, in the doing that we find
A certain way that we can live our lives
And obtain some peace of mind
I have finally come to realise, yes I have
Child don't do, child don't do what I have done
I cut my nose, I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one
I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one
(One more time)
I cut my nose, I cut my nose,
I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one
