I have finally come to realize
Child, don't do what I have done
Cut my nose to spite my face
Made my own odds ten thousand to one

I saw the empire slowly fade away
Tried to grasp it with my hand
Then I saw that it was not up to me
I'm just one tiny, tiny grain of sand

Oh, sweet release, oh, how you soothe me
When I let go, I love how you use me

I have finally come to realize, it's somethin' they're doin'
Yeah, they're doin' that we find
A certain way that we can live our lives
And I'm takin' some peace of mind

Oh, sweet release, oh, how you soothe me
And when I let go, and when I let go

I have finally come to realize, it's somethin' they're doin'
Yeah, they're doin' that we find
A certain way that we can live our lives
And I'm takin' some peace of mind

I have finally come to realize, yes, I have
Child, don't do, child, don't do what I have done
I cut my nose, I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one

I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one
One more time

I cut my nose, I cut my nose
I cut my nose to spite my face
I made my own odds ten thousand to one

I have finally come to realize
Child, don't do what I have done
Cut my nose to spite my face
