Intro:      


	 
We're the reflection of imperfection
              A7sus2   
We come from the infinite place of limitation
   		       
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
	          
We're the completion

       
Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
            A7sus2		
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck
        		        
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
                              
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut

 	   
We're not alone in the madness if we're here, then so are you
                 A7sus2              
Deepest caverns underground, we've been digging for the truth,
          			      		     
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles


	 
Only one who'll get us out of this mess, the one who put us here
        A7sus2   	                
I've got a spear driven through my ear
                                               
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear, pistols smashing chandeliers
                                   
Long for brooks of water like the deer


Chorus: x2
  
A man is just a man, filled of faults and weakness
      
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
    A7ssu2
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
           
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless


         
Planting seeds, they won't sink in, I'm dried up
                 A7sus2              
like the desert earth,  how could these seeds give birth
                             
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed
                    
From one into a million disperse

       
Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below
         	      A7sus2       
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden start to grow
  	        		        
You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow
                            
You can't keep staring out the window

       
Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher
                     A7sus2              
Spark igniter, fighting tired stay wired, enlighten loads
         		          
Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
                             
Energized, give my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by


Rise, to the occasion
 	                             A7sus2    
Keep these hearts all blazin build your life on a river of wax
                               
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning
              
not going away, not going away...

Chorus
