lyrics

it just seems that way, every once in a while, well,
because everyone forgets to ask questions.
and to seek answers.
passiveness grows and spreads here like cancer.
spreading everyone too thin.
where's the room to grow?
how do we begin?
where do we begin, father, when we've got no real home?

he said: start with today. explore the unknown.
let yourself struggle through things and you'll see how you've grown.
don't forget to smile at the little things.
don't be daunted by a challenge.
don't be afraid to sing!

well.
my plans are to spread the kind of love we don't reduce.
but we reuse it.
love is amplified when it's turned around to be reused.
so let my love be amplified!

if you are scared, let me in, i am your friend (let me in...)
if you are sacred, show me your way.
show me we are one, WE ARE ONE...

i learn to love myself, i love to learn myself (x4)--i love to learn!
i learn to love you, i love to learn you (x4)--i love to learn!

well.
my plans are to spread the kind of love we don't reduce.
but we reuse it.
love is amplified when it's turned around to be reused.
so let my love be amplified!

a dragon lives forever, so why can't little boys?
how can painted wings and giant rings loose their place to other toys?
night after grey night the dragon walks alone
only to be forgotten to a boy with no real home. (he's got no real home)

but my door is open, open, open.
i've been hoping, hoping that you'd come in.
come in, come in, come in, come in, COME IN.

well.
my plans are to spread the kind of love we don't reduce.
but we reuse it.
love is amplified when it's turned around to be reused.
so let my love be amplified!

my plans are to spread the kind of love we don't reduce.
but we reuse it.
love is amplified when it's turned around to be reused.
so let my love be amplified!
