Lyrics

Dangling written by Daniel Lee

When I was too young to know hate yet, was still working out just what love was
And didn?t need places or faces to be inspired
One weekend a year then the fair came, and any kid?s parents were fair game
To help make the thing out of plywood and hammers and colours
Well it would take losing my mind to forget that big room that they stocked full of
Prizes and plastic I saw a week early
It didn?t take a whole lot of talking between son and his father there stocking
To know what big eyes behold when they find a bear bigger than who sees through ?em

It don?t take reading somebody?s mind
To find what?s so simple as want for a moment
What?s not so simple?s finding the who
I want to try and read like that forever

So go through a day full of searches of bottle throws and cork guns and trial runs
To prove my own worth but with no bear there watching
I found myself lost in despair and somewhere in front of the string pull,
The kind of place that rewards no skill that you have but your choosing
I didn?t have the brain yet to know who it was that really did the string pulling
But I walked away with what I could barely hold
I wish I could see my dad?s face now, watching from so far away then,
But I can see some of it whenever I tell him goodbye now

Refrain

I could just take what it was that I wanted
And remake that with someone?s face on it
I would love to pull all the strings
This world has dangling, dangling, dangling
I could just take what it was that I wanted
And remake that with someone?s face on it
I would love to pull all the strings
This big wide world has upon it, dangling
