Lyrics
Through the eternities a flame's been kept alive
Through the eternities a fire has been burning
Through the eternities a love light has survived
Thus begins lesson one of the great un-learning.
Hide away, you don't have to hide away
I know it sounds so simple...
but there's nothing to fear but fear itself.
Run away, don't run away
no matter how you try
you can't escape yourself.
Through the generations
we've piled on the weight
now the burden's far too large
and our backs aint standin' straight
We're wonderin' where to turn
'cause we've reached a dead-end road
and we can't go back the same direction
so lighten up the load.
Through the eternities a flame's been kept alive
Through the eternities a fire has been burning
Through the eternities a love light has survived
Thus begins lesson one of the great un-learning.
Peel away, peel away
the layers of your pain
you don't need to worry.
Throw away, just throw away
the uneccessary strain
you don't have to live the same old story. (BRIDGE)...
Through the eternities a flame's been kept alive
Through the eternities a fire has been burning
Through the eternities a love light has survived
Thus begins lesson one of the great un-learning.
