[Verse 1: Tony Teegarden, Paul Masvidal]

How could I forget such a revelation

To love without fear, to learn without question

How could I regret the meant occasions

I must begin this day again

[Chorus: Paul Masvidal, Tony Teegarden]

Freedom and reason shine through

Paddle upon the clouds on one's own canoe


[Post-Chorus: Paul Masvidal]

How could I


[Verse 2: Tony Teegarden]

Humility, take charge of me

Drown me in truth's modest waters

Loosen your grip identity

Free me from an ego's falter


[Chorus: Paul Masvidal]

Freedom and reason shine through

[Bridge: Paul Masvidal, Tony Teegarden]

Love too often is only a dream

If I am harsh and unkind to myself

So I share these attitudes with you

Must I try? How could I?


[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Paul Masvidal, Tony Teegarden]

Freedom and reason shine through

Paddle upon the clouds on one's own canoe

[Bridge: Paul Masvidal, Tony Teegarden]

Love's too often only a dream

If I am harsh and unkind to myself

So I share these attitudes with you

For in this spewing cavern of pride

How could I?


[Instrumental Outro/Guitar Solo]
