[00:13.34] We are all homeless in one way or another
[00:15.91] Whether we've lost ourselves to lust
[00:17.94] Inflamed passions for things desired; forgotten the other
[00:21.82] Wandering aimlessly, in love with something
[00:24.04] that will only collect dust
[00:26.67] Or perhaps we've been led into the wilderness
[00:28.84] by some radiant lover, just to be left out in the cold
[00:31.50] A distant memory, and the warmth of home
[00:36.15] What are we then to do?
[00:39.36] 'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another
[00:43.28] There was truth and dignity in that oath
[00:45.71] Can there be any hope for their retention, in its breaking?
[00:48.54] That even while being disavowed, we recognize humanity
[00:52.28] We have all made mistakes,
[00:54.10] And G-d, I've made mistakes
[00:55.98] But my mistakes haven't made me
[00:59.09] Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone
[01:04.83] Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed
[01:13.46] And spring up into a towering, mighty oak?
[01:26.18] We've been led into the wilderness
[01:29.72] by some radiant lover, just to be left in the cold
[01:33.69] A distant memory, the warmth of home
[01:39.14] 'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another
[01:46.66] We've all made mistakes, every last one of us
[01:52.30] And just because we've told a lie, can we not still grow to be honest?
[02:05.66] Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone
[02:11.97] Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed
[02:21.00] And spring up into a towering, mighty oak?
[02:33.67] Thrown off kilter
[02:39.75] None of us would have thought
[02:42.69] We'd be who we are now
[02:47.06] When we were still little
[02:53.08] Eyes wide to possibility
[02:56.73] Who could have known
[03:01.97] That we'd witness such depravity
