As the dragonfly flies, as the flowers rise,
As the sleeping streets of azure bend the fool,
As the willow weeps, as the lizard peeps,
Down tepid streams with dreams of passing through,
Chorus: You are what you are
You are what you are
You are what you are
You are what you are
As the hope expires, as the land conspires
As the lily-pads drift softly through a night,
In the musty halls, where invention calls
With the voice of indecision filling fright
Repeat Chorus
Watch it, feel it, hold me, thrill me,
Give it, take it,
As the dragonfly flies...
