For a while I could not lose this childhood spectre,
|
I felt others saw it too.
|
Now I notice a change in the way that people look at me,
|
And how those people look to me.
|
I see they're not so clever, I like them better for it too.
|
And one still more.
|
For now I see more clearly
|
Many things that passed me by.
|
Like Paul the visionary,
|
I see things in a different light.
|
For now I know what course to take.
|
|
Now at last I find a meaning in scenes of life
|
That made no sense to me before.
|
And the complicated structures of scientific knowledge
|
Once just mad, they seem so simple now.
|
And one I've known since childhood, she has new meaning for me too
|
These things are good.
|
For now I see more clearly
|
Many things that passed me by.
|
Like Paul the visionary,
|
I see things in a different light.
