A Simple Mistake

Think for yourself, you know what you need in this life
Here in moments we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
Out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in time

Time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make, to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master, ‘cause you don't need to be a slave
of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage

I have found my way to fly free from constraints of time
I have soared through the sky, seen life far below in mind
Breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on oceans of belief
Searched and found life inside, we're not just a moment in time

Time can be the answer, take a chance or lose it all
It's a simple mistake to make, to create love and to fall
So rise and be your master, ‘cause you don't need to be a slave
of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage
In a web, in a cage

(Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life
See beyond the sky
Beyond our waking eyes
And when the night is long,
I feel I don't belong
And when the sky is grey,
you turn to me and say
"Love is all we are,
together or apart"
And then the light of day
calls you on your way
Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life

See beyond...
See beyond...

[Spoken words from "Defending Middle-Earth Tolkien: Myth and Modernity" by Patrick Curry:]
Despair is for people who know, beyond any doubt,
what the future is going to bring.
Nobody is in that position.
So despair is not only a kind of sin, theologically,
but also a simple mistake,
because nobody actually knows.
In that sense there always is hope.
