Marina Diamandis - Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land lyrics
[Verse 1] Our ancestors had to fight to survive Just so we could have a chance of a life We're not here so we can blow it all We could bear witness to the rise and the fall [Pre-Chorus] Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born [Chorus] You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look insidе myself Recognize that I could bе the eye, the eye of the storm [Post-Chorus] I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!) Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA I am the observer, I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky [Verse 2] What's your purpose, why were you put on Earth? You could be lost but you belong to the world We're now living in a seminal age The walls are being broken and we're ready for change [Pre-Chorus] Ancient dreams in a modern land I'm trying to get back as fast I can Back to a time before I had form Back to a time before I was born [Chorus] You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm [Post-Chorus] I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!) Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA I am the observer, I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky [Bridge] From the heart of Malaysia To the dark Himalayas From the day you were born You are not here to conform [Chorus] You don't have to be like everybody else You don't have to fit into the norm You are not here to conform I am here to take a look inside myself Recognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm [Post-Chorus] I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!) Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA I am the observer, I'm a witness of life I live in the space between the stars and the sky
