Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First thing that you'll notice
Is some separation from each other
Yes, it's a lie
We've been believing since time immemorial
[Verse 2]
There was an apple, there was a snake
There was division
There was a split
There was a conflict in the fabric of life
[Verse 3]
One become two
And then everyone was out for themselves
Everyone was pitted against each other
Conflict overwhelmed
[Verse 4]
All our devotions and temperaments
Are pulled from different wells
We seem to easily forget
We are made of the same cells
[Verse 5]
To my boy
All that energy's so vital
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
[Verse 6]
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 wonder why you're here
[Verse 7]
You may be overcome
By darkness and a sense of hopelessness
But it won't matter
If you keep the cord connected to the oneness
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
And this core is unbreakable
This pilot light is there in your pocket
And this bond beyond unshakeable
Even if we all forgot
At the same time
If we forgot at the same time
[Verse 10]
To my boy
My precious, gentle warrior
To your sweetness
And your strength and exploring
May this bond stay with you through all your days
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
(To my boy)
First thing that you'll notice
Is 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
