Once Was One Lyrics - In The Mountain In The Cloud - Portugal. The Man

Of all us he had to know he'd never grow 

He'd never climb, he'd never love like the love I know 

When I was two and he was ten they carried me 

Through holograms they twisted into cosmic seas 

Once was born of light like you 

Once was one but now I'm two 

When I was born of love like you 

When you were ten and I was two 

There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs 

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong 

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride 

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing 

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off" 

If gathering is all we need to change the wind 

For anything to die it needs first to begin

Once was born of light like you 

Once was one but now I'm two 

When I was born of love like you 

When you were ten and I was two 

There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs 

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong 

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride 

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing 

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off" 

In time, saw your future is not burning so bright 

But if we live too long you'll live less like mine 

We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off 

There were two monkeys talking sounding like little dogs 

They were barking and bitching about what was wrong 

In the world we were just spacemen taking a ride 

The gorilla's in his human suit reciting his lines, singing 

"We all, we all, we all turn on, we all, we all, we all turn off"

In time, if human breed hate, love and lies would be traits of mine 

But I was of the future, past and present time 

Once was born of light like you 

Once was one but now I'm two 

When I was born of love like you 

When you were ten and I was two
