Lyrics

Chapter 1: The Tablet Speaks

My way or the highway

Born a diamond

Die a spade

My way

Learn as you go

Sun might shine but you never know

Sadly

Not everything grows

My eyes

Open at last

Blinded finally

Free from my past

Oh, freedom my what a word

Wear it proudly

Never be heard

Sadly

Not everything grows

My love

Blind as a bat

Wear it proudly

Never look back

Tumble

Grasp as you go

In the darkness

You are the glow

Now I know

Now I know

Now I know

That everything grows

Everything grows
