Connected Lyrics

It was green, reptile green

When I saw it through the window

Of the abandoned barn

And it looked like it belonged there

I walked in silence and wondered out loud

If there's a place I could call my own

Have I seen it before

And will I feel like I belong there?

I'm just trying to draw connections

I wanna be connected

In this shaken world of distances and brush offs

I wanna be connected

I wanna reach out and grab hold

Of something real

Wayan walks through Indonesian streets

He has one day off from teaching kids each week

And he spends it here

To be somebody's guide and guru

I see his smile from fifty feet away

I see his dancing eyes and his gentle soul

I'm on a roll

I get to see his world and break bread with his family

I'm just trying to draw connections

I wanna be connected

In this shaken world of distances and brush offs

I wanna be connected

I wanna reach out and grab hold

Of something real

I used to listen to the stories

Of how the sky of powder blue

Could hold a world within its arms

I'd listen without question

Fully alive, senses breathing

I wanna play a colourful role

In this living work of art

'Cause I'm scared of being alone

I'm just trying to draw connections

I wanna be connected

In this shaken world of distances and brush offs

I wanna be connected

I wanna reach out and grab hold

I'm just trying to draw connections

I wanna be connected

In this mixed up world where everyone's a stranger

I wanna be connected

I wanna reach out and grab hold

Of something real
