In The Beginning
In:aviate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The peace I've found will save this soul
And I've built walls to make me whole
I'm breathing free the air has cleared
And I have only one last fear

That things we've said will go unheard
And stubborn ears won't hear these words
They'll just believe what they're told

And never know if they really know
If there is no universal path
And there is no way to right the past
The only way to fully know
Is live the truth and make your own

If by chance you get the chance to
Do what you love I suggest that you do
I suggest that you do
If by chance you get the chance to
Do what you love I suggest that you do
I suggest that you do

If there is no universal path
And there is no way to right the past

The only way to fully know
Is live the truth and make your own
