lyrics

1,000 FACES

Today I am not afraid to be stung
to be hurt.
Pain is an emotional teacher.
And if it is knowledge we seek,
why are we afraid to experience everything?
For in experience we may truly know,
this is the best teacher......life..
In living we will become aware,
in awareness we as persons will find
that these glass houses in which we live,
are those walls that have been built.
Break the glass? No.
Why? when there is a door.
But now the door is locked from the outside.
and the world is strolling by and we are calling,
“hey, let me out!”,
but out there the world is the same,
and in here our reality is changing.

Once upon a time I awoke to find myself,
torn and tattered but I could see until
the end of the earth and I stood and looked upon a whole new world.
and I turned to see the glass was now a mirror
and there was me.
I looked into my own eyes,
into that which was truly me,
and I ran.
Towards the image, towards the glass
shattering, I fell to the other side.
Into the world, unlocked
Free.
Now I am ready
and I am ecstatic.
