Lyrics:
I awoke to this life
With the gift of consciousness
I was sent out to thrive
But then I saw what they can’t hide
Living won’t get easier
But still it’s worth the fight

The ancient hollow promise of a better life
What it has to offer
It’s not really sure
Why should we care?

The clear air of dawn was like wine
I was not free, but on the edge of freedom

But it is you who needs to break through
‘Cause there will always be an issue
Just start again and rule your own life
And maybe issue after issue you will learn to thrive

I don't know when
I don't know why
We started thinking, and believing
I don’t know when
I don’t know why
But this is slipping, through our fingers (now)
