Outside The Cave Lyrics

Once I stopped and saw how we behave

Exactly like a man who was born in cave

Exit lights are blinking on his back

He never turns around

In chains he's too earthbound

Whole real world we know

Is shadows on a stonewall

There's the sunlight

Cleansing eyesight

Just beyond the safe enclave

There's connection

New perception

Here outside the cave

Once I stopped and saw how deep we stare

On the wall in cave full of ghosts and shades

Exit door are waiting in the back

We never turn around

New land will not be found

I stood up abruptly I felt strange

I looked around the cave

And saw that something changed

Exit lights called me from beyond

Then free to go no tied

I finally went outside

Whole real world we know

Is shadows on a stonewall

There's the sunlight

Cleansing eyesight

Just beyond the safe enclave

There's connection

New perception

Here outside the cave

Fleeting

Unstable

All things are friable

Our senses believe

There's no more than this

But our conceptions

Are only reflections

Be the one who can see

The eternal verities
