A story lies behind your eyes
and i know
a story lies behind your pride
and i know
These things we hold indefinitely
wanting to be free
the strings we tie remind us
over and over again
I wanted to write the world for you
give you new eyes to see
i wanted to right the world for you
to set you free
A history built on a thousand lies
and i know
a history fallen from seeded skies
and i know
Desperately wanting identity
hoping for what could be
clinging to reach ahead and see
while falling all over the past
I wanted to write the world for you
give you new eyes to see
i wanted to right the world for you
to set you free
