Shell Game

[Verse 1]
How many times in the lonely night
Someone you'd like to know passed you by?
With half-held words a chance to speak
But too late - he's down the street

[Chorus]
Cast off that shell
Don't resist the unknown
Your understandin' is open-handed
Hold it closed and you're alone

[Verse 2]
We chain ourselves with petty games
We build false walls with tight remains
To find a road that leads someplace
When we're passin' it everyday

[Chorus]
Cast off that shell
Don't resist the unknown
Your understandin' is open-handed
Hold it closed and you're alone

[Verse 3]
To stand naked for the sun
When that's the awareness of everyone
To be open is to be free
To enclose is a channel be

[Chrous]
Cast off that shell
Don't resist the unknown
Your understandin' is open-handed
Hold it closed and you're alone

[Verse 4]
So don't you wait until you're stranded
To ask somebody to throw a hand in
Just be there in your freeform patterns
The shackle games of life won't matter

[Chorus]
Cast off that shell
Don't resist the unknown
Your understandin' is open-handed
Hold it closed and you're alone
