lyrics

I've seen the ancient empires
give way to the rising seas
so I stand on top of this mountain
until the ocean crawls to my feet
then I dove into the new blue world
and dug all that I could see

15 painted dolphins
flashing over the sunken forest trees
carrying behind them, a chariot of coral reef

Off in the distance
the last lights of Los Angeles
burned away.

There I saw a man
looking through his window
with his head in his hands
because he knew
that all the wealth and power that he had
would never love him back in the end.

I thought I heard a voice calling from behind me
so I turned around to see who it was
to my surprise, the perfect form of a silver woman
caught my eye.
She waived me aboard her chariot
and we took of toward the sky.

As we passed overhead
she looked down toward the city
and she said to me,
"You were born into this.
Now you will see that there is another way
where everything and everyone is love.

Love, Love, Love...

You were born into this
but there's another way.
All I am is love for you
and everyone."
