Lyrics: The voice inside

Genius is in the mistakes
The rules do not apply
Maybe the wrong time and place
Listen to the voice inside

Hey—just ‘cause he ain’t tall
So I met him at the mall
Doesn’t mean that I should write him off
It’s just a circumstance
So what if he can’t dance?
His heart is kind and those big hands are soft
He speaks a language that can change what I believe

Genius is in the mistakes
The rules do not apply
Maybe the wrong time and place
To the naked eye
To the conscious mind
Shouldn’t be denied
Listen to the voice inside

So – my friends don’t think he’s cool
He likes Coltrane, I like Tool
He wears leather patches on his tweed
Yeah – but I know that he’s deep
The company I keep
May not be the company I need
To pay attention
This is serendipity

Genius is in the mistakes
The rules do not apply
Maybe the wrong time and place
To the naked eye
To the conscious mind
Shouldn’t be denied
Listen to the voice inside

Genius – he’s a genius

Every big decision is a trial by fire
Wisdom acquired
Ooh baby, my heart aspires to genius

Genius is in the mistakes
The rules do not apply
Maybe the wrong time and place
To the naked eye
To the conscious mind
Shouldn’t be denied
Listen to the voice inside
