[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am
Our ancestors had to fight to survive
Am
Just so we could have a chance of a life
Am
We're not here so we can blow it all
Am
We could bear witness to the rise and the fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 Am7
Ancient dreams in a modern land
Dm7 Am7
I'm trying to get back as fast I can
Dm7 Am7
Back to a time before I had form
Dm7 Am7
Back to a time before I was born
[Chorus]
Am7
You don't have to be like everybody else
Am7
You don't have to fit into the norm
You are not here to conform
Am7
I am here to take a look inside myself
Am7
Recognize that I could be the eye,
the eye of the storm
[Post-Chorus]
F C# C Am
I am not my body, not my mind or my brain (Ha!)
F C# C Am
Not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA
F C# C Am
I am the observer, I'm a witness of life
F C# C Am
I live in the space between the stars and the sky
[Verse 2]
Am
What's your purpose,
why were you put on Earth?
Am
You could be lost but you belong to the world
Am
We're now living in a seminal age
Am
The walls are being broken
and we're ready for change
[Pre-Chorus]

Back to a time before I was born
[Chorus]

You don't have to be like everybody else

the eye of the storm

Am7
From the heart of Malaysia
Am7
To the tall Himalayas
Am7
From the day we're born

You are not here to conform
[Chorus]

You don't have to be like everybody else
Am7
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
