Ablaze Lyrics


Alanis Morissette Ablaze

[Verse 1]
The first thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
Yes it's a lie, is that we've been believing since time en memorial
There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life

[Verse 2]
One became two and then everyone was out for themselves
Everyone was pitted against each other; conflict ruled the realm
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
They seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells

[Chorus 1]
To my boy, all that energy so wild
All your hues and your blues in equal measure
Your comings and your goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Verse 2]
The second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
But it won't matter if you keep your core connected to the one-ness

[Chorus 2]
To my girl, to your innocence and fire
When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This nest is never going away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Bridge]
And this cord is unbreakable
This pilot light is there in your pocket
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
Even if we all forget
All at the same time
All at the same time
If we forget at the same time

[Verse 3]
The tenth thing you might notice is that everyone has fantasies
Different perspectives they would likely fight over who is right and
Who is the best? Who has won? Who's better than the other?
None of that will matter much when you return to your place in the sun
Your place in the sun

[Chorus 2]
To my girl, to your innocence and fire
When you reach out, I am here hell or high water
This nest is never going away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes

[Chorus 1]
To my boy, all that energy so wild
All your hues and your blues in equal measure
Your comings and your goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Outro]
The first thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary
The next that you might notice is that we will always be a family
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
