lyrics

CALL TO THE LIGHTS

Sound of a mystery, she calls out to me
Over the hills and vales I'm following
Through these lives and times I go
Far from the world I used to know

This is a call to those who care
This is a voice inside your head
A call to the lights that will not shine

I was a crowd of one, alone
She found the silence in my own world
Then it came to be
Unexpectedly taking me places I'd never been
Still remember the days of our life
Before everything was changed

I'm half awake, I made mistakes
But I dared to dream
Still the same, imperfect ways
I'm just a simple machine
I'm just a simple machine

She said
"If you come by these ways I will know you
Stones in a circle I will show you
Magic in the air you're breathing
Nothing else comes close without believing"

If you know what you've lost
If you know what you want

Then this is a call to those who care
This is a voice inside your head
A call to the lights that will not shine

This is a call to you and I
This is a reason for the life
This is a love that will not die

Don't give up, no don't give up
Don't give up

Still the same, imperfect ways
I'm just a simple machine
