lyrics

I believe in evolution. I used to pee my pants and now I don’t.
I believe in evolution... But I don’t give a damn about a million years ago.
I believe in my ability to learn from my mistakes. 
I believe in my ability to mountain climb when I raise the stakes.

I raise the stakes every single day
I ain’t content with what my memories say
I raise the stakes every single day
I ain’t content with what these reveries say

I wanna know what the future says
In the black unknown jet-streams of tomorrow
In history, I study the future and I kiss oxygen before I breathe it in
And when that air, when that air comes to me
I mix it with the water that’s inside my body

Waterfalls, waterfalls, Amazon is inside me
Run green river, run clear and free
Waterfalls, waterfalls, amazon is inside me
Run green river, run clear and freeNew falls, the new falls, majestically

There’s a new man who’s being born inside me.

There’s a new man who’s being born inside me

There’s a new man who’s being born inside of me
