Rescue from Without

about

"They show in the final stages of the adventure the continued operation of the supernatural assisting force that has been attending the elect through the whole course of his ordeal. His consciousness having succumbed, the unconscious nevertheless supplies its own balances, and he is born back into the world from which he came. Instead of holding to and saving his ego, as in the pattern of the magic flight, he loses it, and yet, through grace, it is returned." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

lyrics

little boy with the shaggy hair
climbs all the way up to the top
he frames himself against the morning sky
he steps right off & never worries or stops
I think he trusts me more than I trust myself
to catch him safe & never let him drop
so knowing who I can be within his eyes
is what will save me every time

you're the one who will share it all
you are my partner & my friend
you always see me just the way I am
you give me space & time to play & pretend
I think you trust me more than I trust myself
to somehow pull it all off in the end
so knowing who I can be within your eyes
is what will save me every time

nothing has been forbidden
so much is still unwritten
I'll always end up back here following the signs
if sometimes my mind will wander
it's just cause I'm growing fonder
of all these stories hidden in between the lines

take me back to where I started from
& let me back into what's mine
cause with so many people on my side
then I can never let it go & resign
they always trust me more than I trust myself
they always know that I will be just fine
so knowing who I can be within their eyes
is what will save me every time
