Once Was One

Of all us he had to know he'd never grow He'd never climb, he'd never love like the love I know When I was two and he was ten they carried me Through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off If gathering is all we need to change the wind For anything to die it needs first to begin Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off In time, saw your future is not burning so bright But if we live too long you'll live less like mine We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs They were barking and bitching about what was wrong In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off In time, if humans breed hate, love and lies would be traits of mine But I was of the future, past and present time Once was born of light like you Once was one but now I'm two When I was born of love like you When you were ten and I was two --- Once Was One - Portugal.
