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
