lyrics

Once you believe, you can be sure of me
Taken for granted
often you
Drift from your core
I offer you
Grace from the fall and loss of dignity
Look­see who’s standing
As you come to me slowly

I can be seen reflected in shadows and half-light
poised and tattered
A break from the spell
I offer you
Sight that compels you
often to
Walk as the fool who
trusts implicitly
Look­see who’s standing
As you come to me slowly

Soaring unending flight
Melodies and rhyme
Messengers in time
Sometimes in the
notes capture
For your world
Flash of eternal light
Looking in your eyes
Spark of a million stars
Often in your face captured
As you come to me slowly

Hmmm, gotcha’ some static on the line
Hey, say some static is
on the line
‘cross the fields where the gods, they lay wasted
In this world of pipe dreams
So many shiny objects fade
The Nectar we could
be drinking
But how many taste

There’s a reason I wake;
For the messages of the few I wait

Soaring unending flight
Melodies and rhyme
Messengers in time
Sometimes in the
notes capture
For your world
Flash of eternal light
Looking in your eyes
Spark of a million
stars
Often in your face
captured
As you come to me
slowly
