Ablaze - Alanis Morissette

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

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

To my boy, all that energy, so vital

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’ll be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness

But it won’t matter if you keep the 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 in 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 that you might know is that we will always be a family)

To my boy

(My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze)
