Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Our ancestors had to fight to survive

Just so we could have a chance of a life

We're not here so we can blow it all

We could bear witness to the rise and the fall

Ancient dreams in a modern land

I'm trying to get back as fast I can

Back to a time before I had form

Back to a time before I was born

[Verse 2]

You don't have to be like everybody else

You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform

I am here to take a look inside myself

Recognise that I could be the eye

The eye of the storm

[Verse 3]

I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha)

Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA

I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey)

I live in the space between the stars and the sky

[Verse 4]

What's your purpose? Why were you put on Earth?

You could be lost but you belong to the world

We're now living in a seminal age

The walls are being broken and we're ready for change

Ancient dreams in a modern land

I'm trying to get back as fast I can

Back to a time before I had form

Back to a time before I was born

[Verse 5]

You don't have to be like everybody else

You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform

I am here to take a look inside myself

Recognise that I could be the eye

The eye of the storm

[Verse 6]

I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha)

Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA

I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey)

I live in the space between the stars and the sky

[Verse 7]

From the heart of Malaysia

To the dark Himalayas

From the day you were born

You are not here to conform

[Verse 8]

You don't have to be like everybody else

You don't have to fit into the norm

You are not here to conform

I am here to take a look inside myself

Recognise that I could be the eye

The eye of the storm

[Verse 9]

I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha)

Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA

I am the observer, I'm a witness of life (Hey)

I live in the space between the stars and the sky
