Lyrics

Ascension

Coming up to the end

These feelings weren't always pretend

Review your whole life and you don't even have to die

Life would never leave me alone

A choice which way I wanted to go

And everything I've seen is wrong to make me what I'll be

All men

You don't need anyone

Just hold on to the end

And you don't even have to look good

Woman

You do fine on your own

You're free to cry and you don't have to wipe your eyes

Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la!

Oo-why-who-I

Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la!

Oo-why-who-I

Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la!

Oo-why-who-I

Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la!

Oo-why-who-I

Mmm-la-la-la! Mmm-la-la-la!

You once saved me

And now I'm where you want me to be

Ascending endlessly and I don't even have to try

Ascending endlessly and I don't even have to try

Ascending endlessly and I don't even have to try

Ascending endlessly and I don't even have to try
