Picking Up (Alves) I'm picking up something 'cause it's in my way. I'm picking up something I can use someday. When I'm beat into the ground looking for the surface I'm picking up something and it's hard and dark. I'm picking up something that doesn't want to start. I'm weeding it out, weeding it out. I pick up something but it's not so easy. Peace of spirit can't be found. There's a war I wage behind these walls. Eats my body every day. Do you think I'm winning? [Do you think I'll ever win?] I'm picking up something and I'm miles away. I'm picking up something, gonna brighten up my day. When I'm beat into the ground looking for the surface I pick up something, but it's not so easy. Peace of spirit can't be found... All I have, all I care. Don't leave me now. All I want, all I will, all I have. Don't leave me now. All I am or ever will become. I'm picking up something 'cause it's in my way. I'm picking up something, gonna brighten up my day. When I'm beat into the ground, looking for the surface I pick up something. It's not so easy. Peace of spirit can't be found... Lyrics reprinted by permission. BACK
