Father Sun 02:37
Too much too soon with my eyes on the moon I breathe in And by God this feeling of nearly revealing all within me Round round we turn, this whole thing is so absurd Round round we turn, father sun, mother earth Down on the surface, refurbished with purpose to get back From whence we came that magnanimous flame that iron collapsed The breath of us star did make it this far Coalesced in the dark, now itā€™s who we are A way for the gift to unwrap itself with its own arms Round round we turn, this whole thing is so absurd Round round we turn, father sun, mother earth Round round we turn, this whole thing is so absurd Round round we turn, father sun, mother earth

Iā€™ve been waiting a long time (too long, too long, too long) Iā€™ve been stuck in this long line (long line, long line, long line) Now Iā€™m making it all mine (all mine, all mine, all mine) Now that itā€™s time to begin I never want it to end, I never want it to end, I never want it to end Now that itā€™s time to begin I never want it to end, I never want it to end, how ā€˜bout we try this again Do you have any idea what it took to have it so good Ever since we first came out of the blue (uh huh) Nearly 4 billion years to the day for life to look this way Oh, and I hope it does something brand new (donā€™t you?) Yeah, cause I know, and you know, and everybody knows Thereā€™s nothing we canā€™t do, see Iā€™ve been waiting a long time (too long, too long, too long) Iā€™ve been stuck in this long line (long line, long line, long line) Now Iā€™m making it all mine (all mine) and yours (all mine) and yours (all mine) and yours Now that itā€™s time to begin I never want it to end, I never want it to end, I never want it to end Now that itā€™s time to begin I never want it to end, I never want it to end, how ā€˜bout we try this again Do you have any idea what is means just to be anything Now that youā€™re here, thereā€™s no way you can lose (is that right?) Upon the edge of a sphere, making rounds, the baddest beings in town The future is whatever we choose (dynamite) Yeah cause I know, and you know, and everybody knows Thereā€™s nothing but one truth Itā€™s just weā€™ve been waiting a long time (too long, too long, too long) And weā€™ve been stuck in this long line (long line, long line, long line) This right here is for all time (all time, all time, all time) I donā€™t know ā€˜bout you but Iā€™ve been waiting a long time (too long, too long, too long)

I am only what I see and I see all of you Love you just like I love me ainā€™t that what weā€™re supposed to do Same old story, same old song that tries to make anew Something weā€™ve known all along but forgot the words to use Weā€™re the same fruit from the same root and she loves us all the same I know the future ainā€™t what youā€™re use to, but everything does change Here we are in ancient times still bound to Mother Earth Nowā€™s the moment we decided to be what weā€™re worth Weā€™re the same fruit from the same root and she loves us all the same I know the future ainā€™t what youā€™re use to, but everything does change And if you just look around, just look around Consider the crown upon our heads Just look around, just look around Thereā€™s a world to be found and itā€™s just up ahead Weā€™re the same fruit from the same root and she loves us all the same I know the future ainā€™t what youā€™re use to, but everything does change This I canā€™t let go, I canā€™t say no but I can't do this by myself Either we do, or we choose to leave it up to something else And if you just look around, just look around Consider the crown upon our heads Just look around, baby just look around Thereā€™s a world to be found and itā€™s just up ahead

Upside 02:59
Oh, Iā€™m feeling like Iā€™m upside down Itā€™s all I do to keep my feet on the ground Oh, how did I get so turned around How lovely to have yet to figure it all out The space, the space between Lost in the everything, and found in the reverie But the way, the way you move tonight Is giving me big ideas, something beyond my years And all the while we chase the dream Of loving unconditionally And oh, Iā€™m feeling like Iā€™m upside down Itā€™s all I do to keep my feet on the ground Oh, how did I get so turned around How lovely to have yet to figure it all out The time, the time is right All we have left to do, all that we wanted to The future, the future is in our pen What am I writing down, and how is it helping out? Yet still the wheels of change they turn Till we donā€™t recognize the world The sun, the moon, the stars, the time The way we hold these in our mind And all the while we chase the dream Of loving unconditionally But I, I havenā€™t heard a word you said Iā€™m too caught up with being in my own head
