lyrics
The time has come: A new world is at hand.
Take the ones you love and run throughout the land.
The time has come: A new world has arrived.
Take this darkened veil; remove it from your eyes!
They said, all my life, “It’s alright to be afraid.”
So I took their little words, their little truths, and I stored them all away.
And so, all my life, I just distracted from the end.
I turned away my thoughts, and I fought with the light and friends.
But now, these days, I’ve been thinking about the truth,
The way we live each day, of consciousness, and youth.
Cause each and every day, we’ve been floating out in space,
But we numb our fragile minds and forget all about our place!
But why - or even how – could there be anything to see?
They’ve been lookin’ for your catalyst, Mr. Higgs.
I’ve been lookin’ inside of me – inside of we.
So collect our consciousness and together we can know
It’s not okay to fear cause there ain’t no reason to do so!
Yeah, the time has come: A new world has arrived.
Take this darkened veil; remove it from your eyes!
Take the ones you love and run throughout the land.
The time has come: A new world has arrived.
Take this darkened veil; remove it from your eyes!
They said, all my life, “It’s alright to be afraid.”
So I took their little words, their little truths, and I stored them all away.
And so, all my life, I just distracted from the end.
I turned away my thoughts, and I fought with the light and friends.
But now, these days, I’ve been thinking about the truth,
The way we live each day, of consciousness, and youth.
Cause each and every day, we’ve been floating out in space,
But we numb our fragile minds and forget all about our place!
But why - or even how – could there be anything to see?
They’ve been lookin’ for your catalyst, Mr. Higgs.
I’ve been lookin’ inside of me – inside of we.
So collect our consciousness and together we can know
It’s not okay to fear cause there ain’t no reason to do so!
Yeah, the time has come: A new world has arrived.
Take this darkened veil; remove it from your eyes!
