Tristan Tzara – I've Seen It All lyrics

I've seen it all
I have seen the trees
I've seen the willow leaves
Dancing in the breeze

I've seen a man killed by his best friend
And lives that were over before they were spent

I've seen what I was and
I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
There is no more to see

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, it's water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all
I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark
I've seen what I chose and
I've seen what I need and that is enough
To want more would be greed

I've seen what I was and
I know what I'll be
I've seen it all
There is no more to see

You've seen what you were and
You know what you'll be
You've seen it all
There is no more to see
