Children. Children.
-------------------------------------------------------
Everyone lookin' for salvation by himself. Each like a coal thrown from the fire.
There's not some other world out there where everything's gonna be okay. There's just this one, just this rock.
Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?
Look at this jungle. Look at those vines, the way they twine around, swallowing everything. Nature's cruel.
We were a family. How'd it break up and come apart, so that now we're turned against each other? Each standing in the other's light.
This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you, too?
Is this darkness in you, too?
What difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?
Love. Where does it come from? Who lit this flame in us? No war can put it out,
conquer it. I was a prisoner. You set me free.
conquer it. I was a prisoner. You set me free.
We. We together. One being. Flow together like water.
Till I can't tell you from me. I drink you. Now. Now.
Till I can't tell you from me. I drink you. Now. Now.
Why should I be afraid to die? I belong to you. If I go first, I'll wait for you there,
on the other side of the dark waters. Be with me now.
on the other side of the dark waters. Be with me now.
How did we lose all the good that was given us? Let it slip away.
Scattered careless.
Scattered careless.
War don't ennoble men. It turns them into dogs... poisons the soul.
The tough part is, uh... Not knowing if you're doing any good.
That's the hard part.
That's the hard part.
Oh, my soul, let me be in you now. Look out through my eyes,
look out at the things you've made. All things shining.
look out at the things you've made. All things shining.
If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack;
a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.
a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.
