1.) It's been many years, there's still no sign of reason. / They've re-written the history of those who came before. / But I remember hearing someone knocking on my hear, / And I know that I opened the door. / There was an mission, a comission I was sent to do, / How can it be, the truth is so hard to say? / A distant thunder's shaking all the words I wanna shout, / And I feel like this wind is gonna blow us all away. . .
CHORUS.) Take me back. Back. Back when we all knew better. / Oh come on back. Home. To the child standing under the sun, / Where the spirit is free, He's right there, / Holding your unanswered letters, / Back when we all knew better, / When we all were one. When we first became one.
2.) I built an altar here, and made some pious promises, / Then off to Egypt, I just headed on down. / Now I return to find I'm fooled about what honest is. / Can somebody bring me around? / Why do I wrestle with the one who's really saving me? / Oh, let me dream about that stiarway to the sky, /And angels travelling both up and down with messages / that open our ears and re-focus our eyes.
CHORUS.) As above.
MIDDLE 7.) So easy to lose our vision. /So simple to re-mix our master's voice. / So strange to wander in indecision. / So sorry to make the wrong choice, / But we know where to go. / It wasn' that long ago, / Are you coming along to remember . . .what we know?
3.) Captain of the host, come stand again before us now, / Draw your mighty sword, and spin it all around. / Welcome to the land of who-you-are and what-you've-done, / We shed our shoes on your holy ground. / So come on, all of you meaningful-life-wanna-be's, / We'll feed our souls with the words from above. / Bethel's haunted with the ghosts of living memories, / Reminders of hope, reminders of love.
CHORUS.) As above.
