LYRICS:
What I want, you’ve got
But it might be hard to handle…
Like the flame that burns the candle…
… The candle feeds the flame, yeah, yeah
What I got full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter
And you pull them all together…
And how, I can’t explain, oh yeah

BILL MOYERS:: Why is a myth different from a dream? JOSEPH CAMPBELL: Oh, because a dream is a personal experience of that deep, dark ground that is the support of our conscious lives, and a myth is the society’s dream. The myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth.
