the secret - the secret - the secret - the secret - the secret - the secret

I don't want electric power lines choking my blue sky
And I don't want a smoke stack spewing junk
coughing in my eyes

When I get to the next phase of my life, I hope I'll find
      a beautiful place with a picturesque view
      a wide-open space and a picture of you

I don't want responsibilities strangling my youth
Maybe I'm a bit too laid back
in my peaceful war for love and truth

When I get to the next phase of my life, I hope I'll find
      a beautiful place with a picturesque view,
      a wide-open space and a picture of you
      A beautiful place where the water is so clear
      that you can bathe in its clarity and swim over here
      Swim over here

        It only seems much easier now
        I used to feel so insecure because I was afraid
        But now I've pushed that away!

'cause I've got to the next phase of my life, and here I've found
      a beautiful place with a picturesque view,
      a wide-open space and a picture of you
      a beautiful place where the water is so clear
      that you can bathe in its clarity and swim over here
      It's a beautiful place, and we can go there today
      I don't have to show you how ...
      You see, you're living there now
Just open your eyes
You're living there now
