I stand next to the abyss
Sometimes I’d rather not know
Ignorance is bliss
Now where do I go
I have this secret
How can I keep it
Maybe they just choose not to see
What is hidden in every leaf of a tree
Every stone
Every rocky inlet
Every flower that has grown
Every fiery sun set
In the days of old
When the planet was still cold
These things were spread east to west
And were believed, what was best
Goddesses and gods
Lived among us
We survived by beating the odds
Now the worst fear is the occasional passing bus
This is the truth
Though we are told it a lie in our youth
We need not worry bout the earth
But a time will come, a miraculous rebirth
