I'm the G-R-O-VE, yeah
I was searching for paradise
Lost soul with a bottle going bleary-eyed
But like Gatsby, keep on reaching for that green light
Cried at the stars and howled at the moon
Inside I was burning, inhaling the fumes
But I sat tight knowing my time was coming soon.
Now I, close my eyes, I'm in a whole new realm
Senses are heightened, nearly overwhelmed
I am the maker of my destiny
And I didn't come to play today, hear a wise voice singing surrounding me
Listen close now, let's hear what they say
[Mouse]
Your eyes are shining, it’s a heavenly glow. It seems you’re one of us now, don’t you know?
Let them be jealous, envy is a sin.
My wings shield you from the shade they’re throwing in.
This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise.
Bow down and watch me shine my halo,
It’s time to realise, the queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die.
I’m no messiah, no I’m no saint,
But take my hand, come, let’s fly away.
You wanna be immortal, or go to the afterlife?
But one lifetime’s enough if you do it right.
This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise.
Bow down and watch me shine my halo,
It’s time to realise, the new queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die.
The inner light, it calls us home,
With me, you’ll never be alone.
I’m the answer to all your prayers, no need to look for fun elsewhere.
I’ll touch your soul, together we rise across the globe.
Over sea, mountains, our spirit has flown.
Look inside you, home was there all along.
[Grove]
Home is where the heart is beating, hope this home I found in you ain't fleeting
[Mouse]
This is perfection on the highest level,
Only God can criticise.
Bow down and watch me shine my halo,
It’s time to realise, the new queen has arrived,
So call your spirit guides cos’ angels, angels never die.
