Elements Of Life
Blaze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)

Mm-mm (These are the elements of life)
Yeah-ah (These are the elements of life)
All we need is love (These are the elements of life)
Mm-mm (These are the elements of life)

Where would they be, if I ceased to burn
And there was no life, no knowledge to be learned
How would it be, without fire t' keep
That warmth from the cold, until stories we must teach

Can we survive without ocean tide
Bringing us the lessons from horizons far and wide
Did you ever think that there'd be no water to drink
Providing us, we're taught, to our history linked

These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)

These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)

(Elements of life)
(Elements of life)

Everybody know, elements of life
Oh-oh, yeah, elements of life

Birds they do fly, on the edge of the sky
Like a prayer from my soul, to guide it must rise
Life is a seed, in which we have to grow
Certain things in life, that we will never know

But truth is there to show us to stand
For what we know (Stand for what we know)
In the spirit of love, we must let the hatred go
Material gain, never [lie-?] for righteous things
As the scale we must balance, we must share the precious things

These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)

Oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
These are the elements of life (These are the elements of life)
(Life, life, life)

Fill the air (Feels good, yeah)
Fill the air with love, y'all (Fill the air with love, oh yes)
Fly away (Fly away)
Fly like a bird (Like a bird in the sky)
Fly with the spirit, y'all (Come on, y'all, come on y'all, it's love)

Ocean tides
Feel the spirit
Feel the air
Fill the air with love

Oh, the elements of life
Oh, the elements of life




Oh, the elements of life
Oh, the elements of life
