[Verse 1]
In the dawning, waking hour
He'll lift his head and brush his eyes with gentle strokes
That will only blindly mislead him

[Refrain 1]
Into the first day of creation
Which he can only see in limitation

[Verse 2]
Now he sits upon his empty bed
His heart is warm, his heart is full and he can see
That it is impossible for him to retain me
For his arms are without form

[Refrain 2]
He cannot know the word
As his mind cries out absurd

[Verse 3]
Now he's standing inside the doorway
He is afraid but he believes all that he sees
On the floor where everything is merging

[Refrain 3]
And the pictures he sees are tragic
And he begins to believe in magic
[Verse 4]
Now he lies down in a hole
Down in the ground where it is cold
And now he knows
Now he realizes his biggest mistake

[Refrain 4]
That he never had to grow old
And he never had to grow cold
And die

[Outro]
Oh, ooh
