Our Axis
Just like children on holiday
Candy air, sweetened harmony
I say, bring a book, bring a parachute
Dare to dream of a garden’s breeze

With a smile to the ferry boat
Turn around, now to take my leave
I say, just like children on holiday
I can run, I can jump into the sea

Unto all, golden nights and opal skies are here
The luster can hold our tears and handle our time
When we sing, the axis of the heavens can be seen
A house on a count of three, a count of four, I’ve been told

I’ve been told
I’ve been told
In the end, our axis knows
I’ve been told
I’ve been told
In the end, our axis knows
Amber light
Amber light
In the end our axis fights
Amber home
Amber home
In the end
In the end our axis knows
I can run, I can galavant
With a spring in my step for this day on
Gain the force of a trebuchet
I can dream of a better state of mind

With a smile to the ferry boat
I can scream, I can cry into the sun
Just like children on holiday
Tender joys can retake this soul of mine

Unto all, golden nights and opal skies are here
The luster can hold our tears and handle our time
When we sing, the axis of the heavens can be seen
A house on a count of three, a count of four, I’ve been told


I’ve been told
I’ve been told
In the end, our axis knows
I’ve been told
I’ve been told
In the end, our axis knows
Amber light
Amber light
In the end our axis fights
Amber home
Amber home
In the end
In the end our axis knows
