Don't you know me, I'm just somebody like you,
I'm just another face that's here to see you through.
Don't you want me to come and take you away?
To another place where you won't be afraid.
Have you listened to the tale we've told,
Absorbed the meaning, it is yours to hold.
Ashes to ashes to ashes to dust,
Take this with you if you feel you must.
As I walk out into the blazing sun,
I have but just one thing and it's not yet begun.
Try to look into the eyes of the one you love,
Then the clouds will part and you will see the sun.
Have you listened to the tale we've told,
Absorbed the meaning, it is yours to hold.
Ashes to ashes to ashes to dust,
Take this with you if you feel you must.
Close your eyes now and look into the night,
All your dreams await you've got to make it right.
Free yourself from the bondage of your mind,
Leave the worries of the world behind.
