As I recall, millions of lights
One by one, all went flickering by
Until there were none
This bitter wave goodbye
Leapt from hands without regard for my life
When we were young we were so
Brittle and bright and full of life
And we belonged, we belonged
We belonged to the sun
We have won our last battle
Into the waves now, we have swum
Humming a song
When we don't know all the words to sing along
We reward our youth with sex and drugs
No saving us or shaming us
From the love its company provides
We saddle up and take the ride
As I recall this choice was not my own
As they believe themselves over anyone else
Into the woods, I am forced away
Into the natural light
In an unusual way
Where I belong
And like a waterfall we bathe
In our selfish demands to let us be cleansed
Let me free, let me free
The phantom shackles from my phantom limbs
Set me free, give me my ticket to love
Single file lines
To purchase our own form of Jesus Christ
