Higher Learning Lyrics - We Were Born In A Flame - Sam Roberts

I found myself on the road to Confusion 

A dull mind and a weak constitution 

I gave a ride to a medicine man 

He had a glass eye and white light in his hand 

Now, 

I want to run through the green green grass 

Shine a light on the shadows of the past 

I want to feel like a Siamese twin 

Mass appeal with a solitude spin 

Oh now oh now he stopped my world turning 

Oh now oh now this is a higher learning 

Oh and I bet that you don't even think about it 

Do you now boy? 

When they tell us that we couldn't live without it 

Climbed up to the mountain snow, 

And in the valley we was laid so low 

We will rise like a phoenix from the ashes 

Oh now Oh now this is a higher learning 

Oh now Oh now my eyes are burning 

Come to the light! Come to the light! 

Put your mind in the hands of the medicine man 

Time is a slippery fish now 

Drink deep let your memory slip down 

He says were living underground, 

We've been asleep in a memory, dreaming 

The spell was broken by the sound 

The cut is deep but the wound is healing 

We will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes 

I will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes 

He says he speaks to the monsoon rain 

Drink deep and you'll feel no pain 

I came to on a desolate avenue 

My legs were weak but my mind full of fortitude
