Something was amiss,
There was a creaking down the hall
The moon was out making shadow puppets on the wall
Looking back it seems so silly,
It left a chill down through my bone
But that night I thought there really
Was a ghost inside my home
But I saw what I saw and nothing else
Can't tell a story like my mind's been known to tell
You can never be too sure of what you're told
But I saw what I saw and I know what I know
But maybe I just didn't see what I was shown
I've never climbed a hill without having that sinking thought
"This is the biggest freakin' hill that I have ever come across"
But you can't live your life on roads that never rise or wind
Hills are fun on the way down but hey man first you've gotta climb
But I saw what I saw and nothing else
Can't tell a story like my mind's been known to tell
You can never be too sure of what you're told
But I saw what I saw and I know what I know
But maybe I just didn't see what I was shown
And maybe I'm right or maybe I'm wrong
No one really knows for sure but let's not dwell on this too long
'Cause what we've chosen to see is a big beautiful world
The mind's a funny thing or maybe funny's not the word
But I saw what I saw and nothing else
Can't tell a story like my mind's been known to tell
You can never be too sure of what you're told
But I saw what I saw and I know what I know
But maybe I just didn't see what I was shown
Oh maybe I just didn't see what I was shown
Maybe I just didn't see what I was shown
