lyrics

We were called back to the Eden of our youth,
Where we’d savored the apple of knowledge.
Where we were tested and stretched; molded and forged,
Before expelled from our garden college.

And our Eden lay dormant in our distant past;
We’d forgotten the names and the faces.
We’ve lived several lifetimes since we’ve been there last,
Through births and deaths and distant places.

But we return, we return, we return
to the lake and the trees and towers.
We return, we return, we return
Wearing hard-won super powers.

Some of us approached with trepidation,
Fearing the Kryptonite of insecurity.
Would all of our adult strength suddenly disappear?
Would gray-haired wisdom give way once more to immaturity?

But with the first encounter of open arms,
With those first joyful laughs of re-meeting,
Enveloped in the warmth of our shared past,
All our fears were lost in the greeting.

And we return, we return, we return
to the lake and the trees and towers.
We return, we return, we return
Wearing hard-won super powers.

And we laughed and we danced and celebrated,
And we shared the hard stories of our souls
And the strength of our friendships kept us elevated,
While we absorbed the still peace of the lake and knolls.

And we return, we return, we return
to the lake and the trees and towers.
We return, we return, we return
Wearing hard-won super powers.

We return, we return, we return
to the lake and the trees and towers.
We return, we return, we return
Sharing hard-won super powers.

We return.
