Once Was One Songtext / Lyric

Of all us he had to know he'd never grow

He'd never climb, he'd never love like the love I know

When 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 I'm two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two



There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off"



If gathering is all we need to change the wind

For anything to die it needs first to begin






Once was born of light like you

Once was one but now I'm two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two



There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off"



In time, saw your future is not burning so bright

But if we live too long you'll live less like mine

We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off



There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off"



In time, if human breed hate, love and lies would be traits of mine

But I was of the future, past and present time



Once was born of light like you

Once was one but now I'm two

When I was born of love like you

When you were ten and I was two
