Ablaze

Lyrics

First thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
 Yes, it's a lie, we've been believing since time in memorial
 There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
 There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life
 ♪
 One became two, and then everyone was out for themselves
 Everyone was pitted against each other, conflict ruled the realm
 All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
 We seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells
 To my boy, all that energy, so wild
 Love your hues and your blues in equal measure
 Your comings and your goings-away
 My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
 ♪
 Second thing you'll notice is that
 Often we think that there's not enough
 It might feel dark
 It might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
 You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
 But it won't matter if you keep the core connected to the oneness
 
 To my girl, all your innocence and fire
 When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
 This nest is never going away
 My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
 ♪
 And this cord is unbreakable
 This pilot light is there in your pocket
 And this bond, beyond unshakeable
 Even if we all forgot all at the same time
 If we forget at the same time
 To my boy, my precious, gentle warrior
 To your sweetness and your strength in exploring
 May this bond stay with you through all your days
 My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
 To my girls, all your innocence and fire
 When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
 This nest is never going away
 My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
 ♪
 (To my boy) first thing that you'll notice
 Is that everything is temporary
 (To my girl) next thing you might notice
 Is that we will always be a family
 (To my boy) my mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
