When did it begin?
When did it start?
Trying to fit in
Not to fall apart
You said everyone needs something
I guess I need too much
‘Cause I can’t shake this feeling
That I’m never quite good enough
If I was a pharaoh of today
Ruling over everything
That the hand of man has made
What would I do and say?
Pollute the water
Pollute the land
So none can survive
And all shall depend
Planned obsolescence
‘Cause we’ve got wealth to waste
And the trash from the table
Shipped away to a foreign place
If I was a pharaoh of today
What would I do differently?
‘Cause I feel powerless in the wake
Of what history has made
But still the earth is spinning
And the moon is making waves
As everyday we’re living
Is a day not gone to waste
For a gift that is given
No I won’t feel no shame
When blessed with happiness
I’ll be grateful for every day
The pharaohs of today
Can’t take that away
From anyone who is feeling happy
The pharaohs of today
Can’t take that away
From anyone who is feeling happy
When did it begin?
When did it start?
Holistic individual
No you’ve never really been apart
Be it 13 billion years ago
Or 5 minutes just past
Everything that has happened
Has brought us to where we are
No pharaoh of any age
Can take it away
All that once was; all that could be
Its happening to you and me
No pharaoh of any age
Can take it away
All that once was; all that could be
Its happening to you and me
When did it begin?
Will it ever stop?

Why was I
Brought into this life
Only to be
Sent from your sight
Only to be
Cast aside?
Raised with love and hope
Only a child
Sent from home
What was it I did wrong?
When was it you saw with scorn?
So I wander, I roam
Searching for a time that once was
No matter where I go
I’m forever chasing the shadow
Of home
Taken from your side
To be taught was right
In our masters eyes
You were doing just fine
I remember the day
We were taken away
If something feels wrong isn’t it wrong?
‘Cause all I ever do is play along
So I wander I roam
Searching for a time that once was
No matter where I go
I’m forever chasing the shadow
Of home
So I wander I roam
Searching for a time that once was
No matter where I go
I’m forever chasing the shadow
Of home
