lyrics

3. The Soul Awakes and Sings

‘Neath the shimmer of this veil lies a secret worn so thin:
At home on this soil and under this sky yet and exile in my skin

Time will strike a match to the maps before your eyes.
It's a cruel reverse, some things get lost and some things can't survive

Even under its burden the soul awakes and sings,
The soul awakes, soul awakes and sings.

One tossed coin will alter the center of gravity
Ready or not, we're threads of the one and you're not separate from me

Fare thee well to the life I had in mind
Steady my pace, keep my gaze on the horizon line
Can't un-know what you know
Nor blind your witness eyes
Turn it again, inside out,
and build yourself a life

In the woods of old Bhutan fall asleep to an ancient hymn
and the wise ones say you'll catch a glimpse of your soul as it's always been
