lyrics

There is the place where the fear don’t dominate
Fair ones flourish and children learn
Oh, the way he goes
Oh nothing’s gonna stop him as he finds it

There is the path where the cure is waiting
Though the cure’s been waiting there a long, long time
Oh, the way she goes
Nobody’s gonna stop her as she finds it

One said “snake” and the other said “boulder”
As they’re trying to peg the elephant with blindfolds on
Both said “Ah man, without my sight
I’m not sure I’m right
But I know you’re wrong”

There is a heart that’s going to change everything
They’ll have strength to embrace the world
Oh it’s the way she goes
And nothing’s gonna stop her as she finds it

One said “snake” and the other says “boulder”
As they’re out there touching elephants with blindfolds on
Both say “Ah man, without my sight
I’m not sure I’m right
But I know you’re wrong”

But there is the place where the fear don’t dominate
Fair ones flourish the children learn
Oh, it’s the way he goes
And nothin’s gonna stop him as he finds it

And what is this light that glows from their lives
Does it shine within and beyond the door
Oh, it’s the way they go
And nothing’s gonna stop them as they find it
Oh, that’s the way they go
And nobody’s gonna stop them as they find it
