We’ll Bring It Back but It Won’t Be Easy

Our Lady Peace – Starseed

The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back

Midnight Oil
Beds Are Burning

Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space

Our Lady Peace
Somewhere Out There

But at least I don’t see you float away

Modest Mouse
Gravity Rides Everything

Well I let go of the world
that was holding
A passenger that could not fly

In search of souls
in search of something
Let it go
and let it slide

When I find out what went on
well bring it back
but It won’t be easy

They won’t believe how a man –
He could drown
In a starseed
, starseed

I hoped to find why the
world wasn’t glowing
It’s darker as we end this ride
I’ve fallen back under the equator
We’re back inside, we’re back inside

So Real

When I find out what went on
well bring it back
but It won’t be easy

They won’t believe how a man –
He could drown
In a starseed
, starseed

But I found out what went on
We’ll bring it back but it won’t be easy
They won’t believe the man he could –
But I’d choose starseed over nothing
Nothing

Starseed over
Starssed over

Doesn’t anybody ever know?
That the world’s a subway, subway

The esoteric tradition is also intuitive, focusing on our subtle, inner worlds, rather than our obvious outer one. It believes in a living, organic, spiritual, even conscious universe, rather than a dead, mechanical, oblivious one. It is also concerned more with the whole than with the part, with the “correspondences” between things—the “network of connections that links everything with everything else”—than with what separates them. 1

You’re falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you’re out there
Somewhere out there

Our Lady Peace
Somewhere Out There

So, you ask where did we come from? We came from the stars. And for me the most poetic accurate way to say this is not only are we alive in the universe, the universe is alive within us. We we’re not just separate and distinct. We are one and the same.

So, often people want to invoke the word special for being different. I’m special because no one else is like me. I have an opposite view. I say, we are all special, because we are one in the same of the stars in the canopy of the universe. 2

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

When our earth is turning?
