Of all of us he had to know he'd never grow
He'd never climb he'd never love like the love I know
As I was two and he was ten they carried me
through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas
Once was born of light like you
Once was one but now we're two
When I was born of love like you
When you were ten and I was two
There were two monkey's talking soundin like little dogs
they were barkin and bitchin about what was wrong
In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride
The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines
Singin we all we all we all turn on
we all we all we all turn off
When gathering all we need to share is the wind
For anything to die it needs first to begin
Repeat verse and chorus
In time saw your future's not burnin so bright
and if we too long it'll be less like mine
Repeat Chorus
Human greed, love and lies would be tricks of mine
But I was of the future, past, and present time
Once was born of light like you
Once was one but now we're two
When I was born of love like you
When you were ten and I was two
