lyrics

At the top of that hill there
Is the man who used to sing
He sits and frowns, but he never comes down
Here to see what's happening

"At the top of my hill here, I stare into the Sun,
Sit, and frown, and try to pay no mind to them
―They call me 'The Lonely One.'"

Are you who you are, who you are,
Who you are?
I wish you could be who you are,
Who you are

Long ago, he forgot us,
Or did he forget how to sing?
Still we would try, and we'd ask why,
And he'd say he was a human, not a thing

"Know me not to be a part
Of any soul-sucking collectivity
That will entice and not suffice
―Freedom lies in individuality."

Are you who you are, who you are,
Who you are?
I'm gonna give you one chance to become who you are,
Who you are

"Can you see what lies in between?
Will you try to qualify the thing that you've seen?
Will you believe, in time,
In this feeling that you can't get out of your mind?
It's not a trick of light
―You're gazing into the Sun."
