Song#: 23
Album 24) The Innocence of a Being
Name of Song: The replacing of you
Before the beginning,
Before there was time,
Before there were worlds,
Before there were minds.
You are a spirit,
You were before time,
You still are a spirit
but you now have a mind.
Staying so separate,
From all that you see,
Staying yourself
from all those urges to be.
Chorus
You’ve been replaced,
You had a hand,
In your subtle replacements
that now seem so bland.
Little by little,
Bit by tiny bit,
You replaced your own self
But don’t want to admit.

Becoming your body
Is late on the chain,
Before you were those
You agreed there was pain.
