As It Is Before Songtext
von Earth Opera

And you sell yourself so short every time
You look at her and never dare to cross the line
Why is it so hard for you to understand?
We′ll never make it far beyond the gate
Without each other's hand

Yes, you had it once before, you really did
Before you left it all behind
You′ve forgotten what you knew
Before they put their heartless patterns on your mind
And it is being, only being, it is being
It is as it was before
And it is being, yes, believing, being
Only being as you were before


You should be glad to be alive, to laugh and hear the babies cry
There is no tolling of the bell
You can forget to be afraid to die
You were too busy to remember
You forgot your birth, the one essential mind
Oh, you're not the child you thought you were
You wake up in the dark to know you're blind

Yes, you had it once before, you really did
Before you left it all behind

You′ve forgotten what you knew
Before they put their heartless patterns on your mind

And it is being, only being, it is being
It is as it was before
And it is being, yes, believing, being
Only being as you were before

And it is being, only being, it is being
It is as it was before
And it is being, yes, believing, being
Only being as you were before

I
I
