A story lies behind your eyes
And I know
A story lies behind your pride
And I know

These things we hold indefinitely
Wanting to be free
The strings we tie remind us
over and over again

I wanted to write the world for you
Give you new eyes to see
I wanted to right the world for you
To set you free

A history built on a thousand lies
And I know
A history fallen from seeded skies
And I know

Desperately wanting identity
Hoping for what could be
Clinging to reach ahead and see
While falling all over the past

I wanted to write the world for you
Give you new eyes to see
I wanted to right the world for you
To set you free
