lyrics

(Bass Solo Intro: Hill)

(Intro Guitar Solo: Carlino)

Here we are on the precipice of re-materialization...
Nothing's lost, just reconnected...
Where we are gravity is not a factor,
For what you learn holds the only weight that matters.

Experience, not a series of trivial revelations, is the key to moving forward with the energy you've cultivated effortlessly...
Don't be afraid.

For the world you have seen,
And the places you've been,
The light that you knew and the dark you have lived through,
For the times you have spent,
All the minutes that went by in a microscopic instant...

Was it worth it to love?
Was it worth it to hate?
What really mattered at the end of your stay?
Know none of this means anything to the ageless winds of energy.

So recall!
So recoil...
So recall!
So recoil...

What did you learn? (4x)

(Solo: Oliver)
(Solo: Almeida)
(Solo: Carlino)

Here you are: closer than ever before!
Nothing's lost amidst the new translation.
Fear no more...
Your force returns to the air, permeating...
Amongst the universe...

For the world you have seen,
And the places you've been,
The light that you knew and the dark you have lived through,
(You're almost there!)
For the times you have spent,
All the minutes that went by in a microscopic instant...
(You're almost there!)

Was it worth it to love?
Was it worth it to hate?
What really mattered at the end of your stay?
(What did you learn? What did you learn?)
Know none of this means anything to the ageless winds of energy.

(Solo: Oliver)
