Once there was a man of power 
Had no care for human life 
Then one day he saw his living lie 
Growing all around him 
The wheel of change had taken over 
Found a love he never knew 
Now he teaches children what is true 
Gather all around him 


What made him choose to turn away 
What makes us change our mind 
The will to see turns you around 
There is no explanation why 
There is no rhyme or reason 
Just feel the love and you're alive 


Running around in your confusion 
From the cradle to the grave 
Ain't got time to see the world go by 
Where are you going 
Always moving round in circles 
Talking words that never end 
Standing in the grip of madness 
Why oh why 
What are you saying 


How can we choose to run away 
How do we change our mind 
See the perception turn around 
There is no explanation why 
There is no rhyme or reason 
Just feel the love and you're alive 


Realise this understanding 
Move before it gets too late 
Take this chance 
Or life will pass you by 
This is the only way 
We must pull ourselves together 
There's so much we must explain 
Got to teach the children what is true 
There is no other way 


Why did we choose to turn away 
Why did we change our mind 
The will to see turns you around 
There is no explanation why 
There is no rhyme or reason 
Just feel the love and you're alive 


The incredible gift of life 
Where the fire within burns bright 
Every moment we live is true 
And the spirit is all in you
