Didn’t know nothing when I was young
But that would change in time
I came to understand this not through wisdom
But by reaching for a higher clime
Here there is no one that does no see you
You must change your life
Bask in the divinity of broken beauty
You must change your life
Glow like a lamp
Burst like a star
Rise up to the blue sky blue
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
Let everything happen to you
Lift yourself up beyond sky
Let yourself fly
It’s a revolution of the mind
Let yourself fly
Didn’t know nothing when I was young
‘Cause not much had happened yet
And that what was going on in the underneath
Would pose an existential threat
Have this love for what is humble
You must change your life
Win the confidence of what seems poor
You must change your life
Didn’t know nothing when I was young
But, hey, that’s really just an excuse
I preferred the comfort of my gauzy oblivion
To my real-time world of abuse
Find the reasons that compel you
You must change your life
Become the witness to your own impulse
You must change your life
