Audio Medic - The Father Lyrics

The apple might leave
But it always comes back as a hardened tree
Leave 'em in the sunshine
It's all by perfect design

The heart of man bleeds
But it always finds a way to keep the beat
Feed the earth with sunlight
It's all by perfect design

(I thought I rolled far away!)
Never considered that the distance was inner
It only took 9,000 miles to finally see
(We are one and the same)
And no, I don't blame you
'Cause the fire born in you
Still burns in me

(So, what are the odds of that?)
It's too coincidental
Elemental, cosmic serendipity
(I don't believe in happenstance)
The romance of the moment simply lifts you up
Above mankind's deceit

The apple might leave
But it always comes back as a hardened tree
Leave 'em in the sunshine
It's all by perfect design

The heart of man bleeds
But it always finds a way to keep the beat
Feed the earth with sunlight
It's all by perfect design

(He thought he rolled far away!)
But it was less than a stone's throw
Still, he chose to go and travel overseas
(How could he know, though?)
That the reason that he came
Was to feel his roots and plant beside that tree

(And as they both grow)
The soil that they share
Transfers tiny carbon-care up to their leaves
(Under the Sun's glow)
The father's fruits return
Spreading learned life contained within the seeds

(Light to air)
The breath within the log
Sings Shamash's golden song for all to be

(You've returned)
And even when you've gone
You'll become as one with all there is to see

The apple might leave
But it always comes back as a hardened tree
Leave 'em in the sunshine
It's all by perfect design

The heart of man bleeds
But it always finds a way to keep the beat
Feed the earth with sunlight
It's all by perfect design
