Fighting Tao

If I'd've known it is the only time 
I would see your face 
Then we'd celebrate 
When I'm alone living is only time 
Till I see your face 
Though it's not today 

When I'm alone it is the only time 
I will see your face 
When I'm desperate 
Now I'm alone building my holy shrine 
Where I'll see your face 
And then contemplate 

If everything that's new is a lie 
It's that same damn morning 
And the same damn sky 

All I do brings me close to you 
Whatever you'd ask me to 
Though I can't take back what's taken from me 
All I see becomes a part of me 
And even if you don't believe 
Well I'll see you where the river meets us 

Fighting the tide that takes me home 
Only dreaming of the day 
When the world will go away 
A world that's full of pain 
We fight the fight so that might know the fear of our mortality 
If you breathe between the waves 
You will end up in a lake 

All I do brings me close to you 
Whatever you'd ask me to 
Though I can't take back what's taken from me 
All I see becomes a part of me 
And even if you don't believe 
I'll see you where the river takes me 

[Violin Solo] 

And everything that's new is a lie 
It's that same damn sun 
In the same damn sky 
And everything you thought you knew is a lie 
God bless you son 
At least you tried 

All I do brings me close to you 
Whatever you'd ask me to 
So I can't take back what's taken from me 
All I see becomes a part of me 
And even if you won't believe 
Well I'll see you where the river takes me 

All I do (Just brings me close to you) (All I do) 
You were all I'd see (Becomes a part of me... a part of me) 
And all I do (Just brings me close to you) 
You're all I see 
And I'll see you when the river meets us.
