The Story: This song is about the Hero's return, it's about the point in the journey where the hero finds the treasure and is now in the process of bringing the treasure back to the community.
The BackStory: This song is like a prayer. As soon as Kyron sent this beat to Plaedo, Plaedo was instantly in love and began to write. Diesel had a brilliant idea for the chorus. The chorus, sang by Diesel and Mysty is actually sang in a made up language. Or rather its a chorus sang in a pre-language way where the listener can provide their own words of experience and meaning to go with the melody.
VERSE 1:
I am peter pan
Pretending to be
A wise old man
Or maybe it’s the otherway
Either way and anyway
The mechanical elves
From ethereal realms say
It is time, to love myself
Without help, from anybody else
I will be okay, gotta live my day
Time to pray, with each step
That i take, be proud
Of the path, that I made
Evan though, this roller coaster
Is almost halfway over
I enjoy the time, left on this ride
And i, don’t always get it right
But i, always try
Ta Tend to my garden
Give it plenty of water
Even Though I don’t know
What’s at The end, of my road
I read the signs, with an open
Mind and examine
And trust in the flow yo
As the planets planned it
VERSE 2:
Earth wind fire rain
Earth wind fire rain
Take away my people’s pain
Teach us when and how to flow
Show us where we need to go
Up mountains high
Through deserts low
We walked for miles in the wild with the exiles
Survived the flood
We built the ark
Renewed the blood
Only God above
Can judge if we learned to love
My old man was a metaphorical Moses
He told us
Nail the snake to the cross
Cruficy the wokeness
I wrote this to heal the
Hocus pocus
Focus my dopeness on this moment
We chose the roadless traveled
Down to the sea
The lost boys are home
The exiles are free
VERSE 3:
Strange faces, I have seen
Float through, my mind screen
All feels, like a dream
Lifes not, what it seems
With the, smoke and mirrors
And our hope and fears
So I, shed my skin
again begin again
Keep close, all my friends
No mom, ma, or daddy
Might as well be, like family
So we, no longer lost
We help each other
Find our way
Through the maze
And the haze of the days
we won’t waste them away
Nah I master the magic
So when I am rappen
It’s spells that Im casting
And When they close my casket
my souls is everlasting
A-Yo we’re going back to
The garden of Edan
this time lillith’s feeding
Apples to the snakes
And we’re taking off our clothes
And we won’t be ashamed
And we won’t be afraid
We will be free and naked
Simply sacred, in joy
We will play
