lyrics

Today I’m alive
And my breath is on loan from the wind in the sky
One day I will die
Then I’ll rest with the dust that blows in your eye

You
Fill me up
I’m human
Is that enough?

In the shape of the
Greatest mystery

You’re love’s microphone
When I’m called to the stage to speak on my own
You can describe the stars
When a poet can only employ metaphors

You
Fill me up
I’m human
Is that enough?

A faint silhouette
Of the great
Unanswered
Shows me how to live
Like a mystic

Tell the me answers
I’m living
Like a
Mystic for now

I’m a disciple
I’m righteous
I’m Walking
Into the deep alone
