Alanis Morissette Ablaze

First thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other

Yes, it's a lie, we've been believing since time immemorial

There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division

There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life

 

One became two and then everyone was out for themselves

Everyone was pitted against each other; conflict ruled the realm

All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells

They seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells

 

To my boy, all that energy so wild

Love your hues and your blues in equal measure

Your comings and your goings-away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

 

Second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough

It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here

You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness

But it won't matter if you keep your core connected to the oneness

 

To my girl, all your innocence and fire

When you reach out, I am here hell or high water

This nest is never going away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

 

And this cord is unbreakable

This pilot light is there in your pocket

And this bond, beyond unshakable

Even if we all forgot

All at the same time

If we forget at the same time

 

To my boy, my precious gentle warrior, to your sweetness

And your strength and exploring

May this bond stay with you through all your days

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

 

To my girl, all your innocence and fire

When you reach out, I am here hell or high water

This nest is never going away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

 

(To my boy...)

First thing that you’ll notice is that everything is temporary

(To my girl...)

Next thing you might notice is that we will always be a family

(To my boy...)

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
