I was raised up believing I was somehow unique, like a snowflake, distinct among [Eb] snowflakes,
unique in each way you can see.
And now after some thinking, I'd [Ab] say I'd [Cm] rather be [Eb] a functioning cog in some great [Ab] machinery
serving something [Eb] beyond me.
But I don't know what that [Ab] will be.
I'll [Eb] get [Ab] back to [Eb] you someday [Ab] soon.
You [Eb] will see.
What's my name?
What's my station?
Oh, [Ab] just tell me what I should do.
I [Eb] don't need to be kind to the armies of night [Ab] that would do such injustice [Eb]
to you.
Or bow down and be grateful and [Ab] say, sure, take all that you see.
To [Eb] the men who move on me in dimly lit halls, [Ab] determine my future for me.
And I don't have to [Ab] believe [Eb] I'll get back [Ab]
to [Eb] you someday [Ab] soon.
You [Eb] will see.
If I know only one thing, it's [Ab] that everything that I see [Eb] of the world outside is so [Ab] inconceivable,
often I barely [Eb] can speak.
Yeah, I'm tired and busy, and [Ab] I can't keep it to myself.
[Eb] What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
[Ab] Why should I wait for [Eb] anyone else?
And I know you will keep me on [Ab] the show.
I'll [Eb] come [Ab] back to you [Eb] someday [Ab] soon. Good [Eb] night.
If I had an [F]
[Fm] orchard, [Eb] I'd work till [Fm] I'm numb.
If I [F] had an orchard, I'd work till [Ab] I'm sore.
You [Eb] would [F] wait tables and soon [Ab] run sore.
[Eb] Rolling in the [Fm] sunlight, [Eb] my light in [Fm] the dark.
