Alanis Morissette with Julian Coryell - What Child Is This?

The first thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other

Yes it's a lie, we've been believing since time in memorial

There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division

There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life

One became two and then everyone was out for themselves

Everyone was pitted against each other conflict ruled the realm

All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells

They seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells

To my boy, all that energy so wild

Of your hues and your blues in equal measure

Your comings and your goings-away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

Second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough

It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you wonder why you're here

You may be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness

But it won't matter if you keep the core connected to the one-ness

To my girl, all your innocence and fire

When you reach out, I am here hell or high water

This nest is never going away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

And this cord is unbreakable

This pilot light is there in your pocket

And this bond, beyond un-shakeable

Even if we all forget

All at the same time

If we forget at the same time

To my boy, my precious gentle warrior

To your sweetness and your strength in exploring

May this bond stay with you through your days

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

To my girl, all your innocence and fire

When you reach out, I am here hell or high water

This nest is never going away

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

To my boy

The first thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary

To my girl

Next you might notice is that we will always be a family

To my boy

My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
