lyrics

When her voice became my own, and my heart began to beat alone.

I was embraced by the leaves, the rivers, and the growing trees.

When his breath breathed air anew, and slumber turned into pursue.

I was entwined with the garden, my home an oasis well guarded.

Hands caressing sands, waves dance.

Obeying thunderous commands.

The storm encircles me, calmly, where I stand.

This moonlight guides my eyes to sights of pinnacle heights, to scaling mountain sides.

I find comfort belonging inside this ride that treks through time, grounded by the light.

Igniting the ocean tides, I discover where my pulse resides.

Our gentle gift cradled by a hand divine.

Suspended in a web intricately woven by,

the manifestations within my mind.

Projecting this life.

Hands to wings as winds to skies.

The gift of youth as light to flies.

A calling bears it’s answer true.

Through silence it’s path winds down to you.

To lead is to follow a harrowing, hollow dream. (I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming to dream)

This nightmare will send you on a spiraling swing,

to bring you down into sleep. (To bring you down into sleep)

I can show (the journey to eternity) that I know.

I have been where you will go (the pathway to paradise)

Never say never, don’t let go now.

Never say never, you haven’t showed me how.

Never say never, don’t let yourself become phased out.

Having tread this route before now, don’t you know

that I will face doubt?
