[Verse 1] Didn't know it was a game Didn't know there were rules Just woke up one morning In a world that nobody chose Came in ancient but an infant No map and no plan Just a blank slate and a question And two empty hands [Chorus] A spark of the divine chose to play Left his memory at the door A babe in the woods Becomes king of the forest When he remembers what he came here for [Verse 2] Rules and I never got along Trouble knew my name Never went looking for the storm The storm came just the same Everything's a lesson Trouble most of all The harder the classroom The higher you fall [Chorus] [Bridge] Built the cage and called it living Called the chain a path The joke's been there the whole time Just waiting on the laugh Funny thing about a rigged game Once you see it you can't unsee Funnier still when you realize You designed the whole damn thing [Verse 3] Saw through it quiet one morning Not a crash just a click Everything I thought was real Just a magician's trick One law left when the smoke cleared Older than the game Written in the creeks and canyon walls Before the world had a name [Final Chorus] A spark of the divine chose to play Left his memory at the door A babe in the woods Becomes king of the forest He remembers what he came here for He finally remembers What he came here for
