lyrics

Reflection of self in the madness around me
Vision is lucid through all the sordid heaps
The ways of the old are leaking through the walls like moss, like mold
Try as you might to live life as a fight, but it all returns

Cause what matters, what matters?
Do you know how to let your dreams grow?
Do you know how to let your heart show?
In this very very very cold world
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home

Reflection of self in all that surrounds me
Vision is lucid when I allow the dream
Of all that this beautiful world is offering
Of all that this beautiful world is offering
I see opening eyes turn away from screens
Turn and face one another, this is what love means
I see people remembering what their bodies are for
I see reaching arms taking in the cure

Cause what matters, what matters?
Do you know how to let your dreams grow?
Do you know how to let your heart show?
In this very very very beautiful world
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home

Cause what matters, what matters?
Do you know how to let your dreams grow?
Do you know how to let your heart show?
In this very very very beautiful world
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home
And I know this as sure as the sun shines on us all
And I know this as sure as the moon shines on us all
Your love is the only thing that will bring us back home
Your love is the only thing that will bring us... back
