This is a song about how our parents are people - imperfect humans just like you and me.
lyrics
Along the side
of gods I walked in ancient times
Up I looked into their eyes
Full of love, so wise and kind
Firm their hand, they molded me
and in return I seek to please
The ages pass,
and I've been gone to find my path
Looking back, the clouds that shroud the mountain peak
make me think and long for where I used to be
Leagues beneath my feet, they bring
me back to where the gods convene
High… above the treeline
Fog and mist, below this precipice
Eyes of gold, the eyes of old memories
And I don't see… the glow. Where did it go?
Level with my gaze, I see the gods in all their ways, they are just like me
Made of skin and bone, with names that are their very own, I finally see
Past the smoky haze of myth, past the sky high monolith, beyond the firmament, so far
Tear the temple down into rubble on the ground and love them as they are
Tear the temple down into rubble on the ground and love them as they are
