Psalms 73.21-28

1.
I’m feeling like a fool
there is nothing I can prove
my pockets are never filled

I’m still standing on my feet
and I’m living in both worlds
My dreams are still alive

They can call me a fool
they can play games with me
they can make me cry

But I know that it is true
and I know where I belong
I take it as it is

2.
They can’t feel like I do
they don’t mind the things I like
How can I make them see?

They can’t hear what I do
they don’t like what I admire
How can I make them understand?

I will have to go my way
I have to live what I believe
until the day I see it all

So I surely know it’s true
and I know what I have received
I take it as it is

Chorus
All I ever want, all I ever want to be
all I ever need, is to be close to you  

3.
Let me be a fool
let my body fade
with you I will always win

Let my days be weird
let my dreams be in vain
you’ll never give me up

Let my life reach the limits
let my soul find your peace
let the wind blow anywhere

You know that it is true
you know where I belong
I take it as it is
