Some people say they know it, for others it's belief Say they'd rather know than know it's make-believe For those that have outgrown it, those that up and leave Know you can't control what's clearly mystery Oh, I've longed to start the fire So while I am still breathing There is a revolution in the republic of Eden ♪ Consider the lion lying on the plane Watch his eyes as he surveys the pride and wildebeest remains Though he may not show he's the king of his domain And woe betide the lion that tries to challenge his reign Well, he owes and he owns nothing He's standing still, now breathing In his eyes, the revolution in the republic of Eden ♪ And those exploring planets report no signs of God By the whirling firmament out the window of the fuselage And this space between us, yet there's no "us" or "them" Whether we were born of a bang of the aftermath of requiem Oh, I'm a raging fire I'm standing still, now breathing Yes, I am the revolution in the republic of Eden ♪ We owe and we own nothing We're standing still, now breathing Yes, we are the revolution in the republic of Eden
