Intro :
The f irst thing that you'll n otice is some
S eparation f rom each other
Y es it's a li e; is that we've b een
Believing since ti me immemorial
T here was an ap ple there w as a snake there
W as division
T here was a s plit there was a c onflict in
The f abric of life
O ne became t wo and then e veryone was out fo r
Themselves
E veryone was pi tted against each o ther
Conflict r uled the realm
A ll our devo tions and tempe raments are
Pulled f rom different wells
They seem to e asily forget we are ma de of
The s ame cells
To my bo y: a ll that ene rgy so wil d
All you h ues and your bl ues in eq ual measure
Your c omings and your g oings-away
My m ission is to k eep the l ight in your e yes
A blaze
The se cond thing you'll no tice is that of ten
We think t hat there's not enou gh
It might feel d ark it might feel l onely and
You'll wo nder why you're h ere
You may be ov ercome with d arkness and a
S ense of hopelessne ss
But it won't m atter if you k eep your core
Co nnected to the o ne-ness
To my g irl: to your inn ocence and fi re
When you r each out I am here H ell or High
W ater
This n est is never g oing away
My m ission is to k eep the l ight in your e yes
Ab laze
And this c ord is unbr eakable
This p ilot light is there in your p ocket
And this b ond beyond un-s hakeable
E ven if we all forge t all at the s ame time
A ll at the s ame time
If we forg et at the sa me time
The t enth thing you might n otice is that
E veryone has fa ntasies
Di fferent perspect ives they would l ikely
Fight o ver who is right and
Who is the b est? Who has w on? Who's better
T han the other?
N one of that will ma tter much when yo u
Return to y our place in the s un
Your p lace in the s un
To my g irl: all your in nocence and f ire
When you r each out I am here H ell or High
W ater
This n est is never g oing away
My m ission is to k eep the l ight in your
E yes
To my b oy a ll that en ergy so wi ld
Love your h ues and your b lues in equ al
Measure
Your co mings and your g oings-away
My mi ssion is to k eep the l ight in your e yes
Ablaz e
T he first thing that you' ll notice is that
Eve rything is t emporary
The n ext you might n otice is that w e will
Always be a famil y
My m ission is to k eep the li ght in your ey es
A blaze
