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
First thing that you'll notice
Is that everything is temporary
Next thing you might notice
Is that we will always be a family
My mission is to keep
The light in your eyes ablaze
