so much lost meaning

this is what touches to the very core

leaves us uncertain open to the cold

still with full knowledge we can learn to soar

this is no journey you have made before

nor any story that you have been told

this is what touches to the very core

you think to close the last unblemished door

and make secure those in the normal fold

still with full knowledge we can learn to soar

not one of us but has been keeping score

and does not wait to hear your usual scold

this is what touches to the very core

you need to hear that we learn to adore

that from our former nature we're cajoled

still with full knowledge we can learn to soar

what we have gained is not in any store

it can't be measured only in soft gold

this is what touches to the very core

still with full knowledge we can learn to soar
