Did we come down from the heavens
Did we grow up from the ground?
Were we born out of the waters
And are we human now?
Is my life just a vapor
Just a breath of the Creator?
Or are we all just the dreams
Of a divine imagination?
Oh, and what are the chances
That it's all a simulation?
Are we holy?
Are we ancient?
Are we stuck inside the Matrix?
Are we just the latest result
Of unguided mutation?
And if so, does that mean I'm not
The pinnacle of creation?
Or could it be the same story Just different interpretations?
Well, I don't pretend to know
But I wonder, if we could
Remember where we came from
Could it be in our power
To alter our destination?
If we would humble ourselves
Admit we've gone astray
Someday, would we find our way back home?
Have we forgotten when we started
We were tenders of the garden?
We were instruments of praise
And in the presence of our Father
We stood bold and unashamed
In the holiest of places
We were innocent enough
Until they told us we were naked
We were imagers of God
Until we forgot our nature
Indigenous to love
Until they taught us only hatred
When they took us from our homes
And they took away our language
Cut our hair and shaved our faces
And gave us strange new names
Who needs chains?
They've already got us indoctrinated
We're all slaves
To the very 'gods' we created
We are all that now remains
Of a stolen generation
Singing 'There will be a day when
The world will be remade and
Until we finally awaken
We are just strangers in a strange land'
So is it all a waste of time
Or could it truly be enough
To spend the rest of my life
Simply learning to be loved?
Am I ready to choose
To let go of my excuses?
Or to finally give up
What I've been so afraid of losing?
Oh, and then I remember
That time is an illusion
And with a different perspective
Comes a different conclusion
So I'm giving myself
The grace that it takes
To come to fruition
While I'm learning to trust the process
And my own intuition
I am lead by the gentle wind
That's blowing in the spirit
And silencing every voice out there
That don't want me to hear it
I looked for God
In the deserts
In the mountains
When I found Him
I went home and wrote an album
I've still got questions about Him
So I keep seeking Him everyday
Because I believe no matter
Who we are or where we've been
It could be in our power
To set our own intentions
I'll see you again
In a higher dimension
When we find our way back home
