Fighting Tao

If I'd've known it is the only time
I would see your face
Then we'd celebrate
When I'm alone living is only time
Till I see your face
Though it's not today
When I'm alone it is the only time
I will see your face
When I'm desperate
Now I'm alone building my holy shrine
Where I'll see your face
And then contemplate
If everything that's new is a lie
It's that same damn morning
And the same damn sky
All I do brings me close to you
Whatever you'd ask me to
Though I can't take back what's taken from me
All I see becomes a part of me
And even if you don't believe
Well I'll see you where the river meets us
Fighting the tide that takes me home
Only dreaming of the day
When the world will go away
A world that's full of pain
We fight the fight so that might know the fear of our mortality
If you breathe between the waves
You will end up in a lake
All I do brings me close to you
Whatever you'd ask me to
Though I can't take back what's taken from me
All I see becomes a part of me
And even if you don't believe
I'll see you where the river takes me
[Violin Solo]
And everything that's new is a lie
It's that same damn sun
In the same damn sky
And everything you thought you knew is a lie
God bless you son
At least you tried
All I do brings me close to you
Whatever you'd ask me to
So I can't take back what's taken from me
All I see becomes a part of me
And even if you won't believe
Well I'll see you where the river takes me
All I do (Just brings me close to you) (All I do)
You were all I'd see (Becomes a part of me... a part of me)
And all I do (Just brings me close to you)
You're all I see
And I'll see you when the river meets us
