In the day you were born when you fell to the earth When the sun hits your eyes when it shadowed your birth You were perfect enough You were flowers held over the sea You mother was moonlight Your father the stars You were free of illusion, delusion of scars Before innocence fell to the wolves before blood was drawn Before innocence fell to the wolves before blood was drawn And the moon in the end --- When all that you were was to be The moment you truly were more than yourself you knew what it was to be free And there you were taught of desire and shame Of the sickness of sorrow the weakness of blame When your spirit was sent to the place of your wanted mind It was there you knew loss it was there you knew pain The storm rage in your heart; thunder, lightning it rained Is this human you ask yourself over and over again Is this human you ask yourself over and over again The silence that turned you to stone The sufferin' that left you alone When hope was forsaken you carried your cross To the stillness that led you back home By the sun and the illness of man Through everything --- Your reflection begins to appear --- It's the light that your soul understands The silence that turned you to stone The sufferin' that left you alone When hope was forsaken you carried your cross To the stillness that led you back home Your vessel in carrying hands Fell back to the water from man You accept what you don't understand The sun and the illness of man
