what you look for - mary chapin carpenter lyrics

[verse 1]
what you look for on a dirty street
is a patch of green beneath your feet
a stubborn weed or traveling rose
either one, it lives to grow
what you look for in a stranger’s eyes
is if he sees through your disguise
how we long to be revealed
to be known we might be healed

[chorus]
send it out into the universe
a humble plea, a wish, a broken verse
be the seed that lands inside the cracks
seek the sun and it shines back
it shines backs

[verse 2]
what you looked for when you were a girl
was a window out into the world
from a speeding car or a p-ssing train
you were hypnotized just the same
what you look for now that you are grown
is proof of how the time has flown
an empty house, a strand of grey
and an endless long for yesterday
send it out into the great elsewhere
a kind of hope, a chant, a simple prayer
be the child whose dreams won’t ever fade
shout the storm that barricades
what you look for in your darkest hour
is a dirty a street or just a flower
send it out not knowing where it went
to the blue, into the firmament
be the one who wonders at it all

[chorus]
