lyrics

Somebody told me one time that a galaxy
Has the same shape as a snail shell from the sea
And I never would’ve guessed
Though it makes perfect sense
It’s the spiral garland wound around reality

And when the sun goes down and you look out into space
And wonder if we’re alone in this place
It's all a big shell game
Our souls are all the same
The universe is peering out through each face

What if I told you this life is a puppet show?
You’d probly laugh and say, “I ain’t no puppet, though.”
No, but I am certain
You’re the one behind the curtain,
And so am I. We’re puttin’ our own selves on y’know.

And when the lights come up we’re gonna look around
And we’ll be the only ones to be found.
And I am you and you are me.
We’re the one reality
In the universal theater in the round

Joy and sadness, life and death, and all of that:
We’re responsible for one another on this raft.
When we get to the shore
We won’t need it no more.
We’ll shake each other’s hand and then we’ll laugh

And where the ocean meets the sand is where we’re gonna land
And realize we really did all we can
For when the false you melts away
In the new light of the day
Our oneness is all that we’ll understand
