Second Innocence

There's a feeling that we hide
That we're all just along for the ride
There were days without time
When the world was wide
And children who set the sun

We were torn apart by lies
to belong a broken tribe
But we dare to be true when it hurts the most
And we will be so much more

There's a light inside you
Far below the pain you locked away
the words you couldn't say
it's waiting for you
To dive in
To break down
To reach out and
To take it home
To the end
Where it all began

So in love with the earth and sky
The moon and the stars were alive
We were so young
Oh how the time will fly
Fly on by
Things just change when they get a name
Enchantment will fade
Fade away
And now we can't go back
But we can change the game

From the dark to the self and the other
From the self to the mask and the truth
From the truth to reality's mother
You become who you are
We become who we are

There's a world that I can see
Where we don't have to fight to be free
Where the body and mind will become one
And gods will be born of you

We are so afraid to die
That we sanctify the lie
That the truth is beyond all that we create
But one day we'll all break through

There's a light inside you
Far below the pain you locked away
the words you couldn't say
it's waiting for you
To dive in
To break down
To reach out and
To take it home
To the end
Where it all began

Waiting!
Waiting!
Just waiting!
Waiting (for fire)

We might spend all our lives
Waiting for the flames to rise
We try and we try
We might wait all of our lives

Fading!
Fading!
Just fading!
Fading (away)

Here we are one more time
Fire reduced to ash and grime
We've cried and we've cried
Still we're crying one more time

From the dream to our instincts in shadow
From the snake to the soul of the world
From the stone to the sunrise you let go
You become who you are
We are born of the stars

Oh how your eyes
Give more life than sunlight
And it feels so nice
Knowing I am you and you are me

Let the light on in
Fear is our brother
Let the light on in
The Funk is our mother

Inside out and then outside in
The voices return and you begin
To realize again

At the end of every journey
Is a story never told
If you tell the truth they'll hate you
'Cause you broke out of their mold
If you stare into your darkest night
And manage not to wince
You might earn what few have ever known
The second innocence

This life will blow your mind
Scatter the pieces throughout time
For you to find
The child who died
Will return, eyes open wide
Young and old somehow
Always saying yes to right now
