[Intro]
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
Your comings and your goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes

[Verse 1]
First thing that you'll notice is some separation from each other
Yes, it's a lie, we've been believing since time immemorial
There was an apple, there was a snake, there was division
There was a split, there was a conflict in the fabric of life

[Bridge]
This pilot light is there in your pocket
This pilot light is there in your pocket

[Verse 2]
One bеcame two, and then evеryone was out for themselves
Everyone was pitted against each other, conflict ruled the realm
All our devotions and temperaments are pulled from different wells
We seem to easily forget we are made of the same cells

[Chorus 1]
To my boy, all your innocence and fire
To my girl, I am here hell or high water
Your comings and your goings, goings, goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Bridge]
This pilot light is there in your pocket

[Verse 3]
Second thing you'll notice is that often we think that there's not enough
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and you'll wonder why you're here
You'll be overcome with darkness and a sense of hopelessness
But it won't matter if you keep the core connected to the oneness

[Bridge]
This pilot light is there in your pocket
This pilot light is there in your pocket
And this bond

[Chorus 1]
To my boy, all your innocence and fire
To my girl, I am here hell or high water
Your comings and your goings, goings, goings-away
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes ablaze

[Bridge]
This pilot light is there in your pocket
This pilot light is there in your pocket

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
