When You Find out Who You Are - The Incredible String Band

It’s of a strange and furious time

When men did speed to pray

Along the road of discontent to gods of gold and clay

Some did seek security

Among the seas of change

And some did seek dear life to wound

A furious time and strange

But when you find out who you are

Beautiful beyond your dreams

Just look around and notice where you are

Just look around and notice what you see

Each moment born for you innocently

And when I see what we have made

What we have cut with the mind’s blade

In the blackness feel it all

Repeated faces rise and fall

With ancient goals unwondering fail

Further obscure the ancient trail

Filling with the endless years

The rivers of your heart’s tears

You are the way

I swear you have the power

As the angels do

Spread out your fingers and

Make all things new

Change the world by the things you say

By the things you love

And by the games you play

And you make each new day

You are the way

When you find out who you are

Beautiful beyond your dreams

It feels so funny in your mummy’s tummy

Before you get born into the world for to carry on

Remember young man of the time

Before you first went to school

How did it feel trying to live to the rule

Remember young man of the time

When your love stick

First rose free between your legs

Like a growing tree

Remember you walked with your lover

Like a gypsy and a gypsy queen

Under the stars where the sign was seen

Under the stars where the leaves were green

Under the stars where the sign was seen

0 how many shining hearts

With love have guided me

And many I have met before

In lands across the sea

We used to speak of that ocean deep

How little words can say

It’s better now to ask your friend

What makes his world so grey

(What makes him sad today)

No one can do it for you

Make your own sky blue

Make your own dreams come true

Make it come true
