Lyric

I return to those mysterious words

Spoken softly just yesterday

Pain rushed in so quickly, so sharply

Evenings seemed to fade away

I start gently, step by step

Unraveling this tangled thread

I’m not truly such a sinner

My destined time has not yet bled

I see it all through a milky haze

The meaning of the words eludes

My mind suddenly falls into a daze

I slip away into the darkened moods

Not all of me is swallowed by darkness

A tiny light glimmers far away

From a power unknown, mysterious

A spark ignites inside today

I start to breathe, in ecstatic rhythm

The meaning of those words arrives

Ah! Familiar phrases strike the soul

Why could I not understand their lives?

It seems I was recently beyond the edge

In a world where life softly glows

I wasn’t born for pain or suffering

Love’s closeness now fills me and shows

It seems I was recently beyond the edge

In a world where life softly glows

I wasn’t born for pain or suffering

Love’s closeness now fills me and shows
