1. The Promise
The promise
Lays beyond my sight
Eternal ocean calling me in
Unlock the door
Let the search begin
And invite the promise in
2. Descent
Slowly I descend
Through murky waters
Where no one understands
And darkness feels too close for comfort
I’m never quite prepared
To face fragments of myself
I dive with trepidation
Into whirlpools of my reflection
3. Cages
A tumble and twist
Into the abyss
Down where the light dissipates
Pining for solid ground
Wishing I never took this leap of faith
Down in the depths
I try to lose myself
And my spirit is up for the taking
If I could break out of the bars of my past
And flee from this cage of my making
Heavy shadows
Pushing down on me
Leading me to cages
How do I set myself free?
4. Out of the Circle
Dawn splashes out in red
The offing stretches out its hands
What a thrill
To never understand it
I have been given a breath
To carry me somewhere else
Out of the circle
Where life is more beautiful
High above
I am a sparrow now
Circling the grey below
The air sweeter than before
I could soar
5. Broken Arrows
As quickly as I rose up high into the flow
Time frozen
So it was I fell back down
Clock ticks, slowly treading water
Spluttering and splashing through the tedium
Another day
Sharpening the edges
While all belief slips away
I keep firing broken arrows
How will I ever get through your defences?
If I keep firing broken arrows
I keep misfiring
6.The Bends
Slowly I descend
A tumble and twist into the abyss
How will I ever get through your defences?
I keep--
If I could break out of the bars of my past
High above I am a sparrow now
The promise
Search…
7. Carry Us Above
What makes up this moment?
What do we bring to it?
If we share no history
Then where do we begin?
In a world that spins so fast
I need something to hold on to
And break my fall
Or even better still
Someone who will carry us above it all
There is only change I know
It’s not something to fight
But I just long to be human
While currents try to pull me out
In a world that spins so fast
I need something to hold on to
And break my fall
Or even better still
Someone who will carry us above it all
The joy
The pain
The dream
The lust
To all but lose yourself in trust
To rise where we could fall
The sweat
The fear
Eternal doubt
Emotions that have built us up
And spilt us out to meet as one tonight
In a world that spins so fast
I need something to hold on to
And break my fall
Or even better still
Someone who can carry us above it all
For I just long to be human
The promise
Lays beyond my sight
Eternal ocean calling me in
Unlock the door
Let the search begin
And invite the promise in
