lyrics

I have fallen with the leaves
Down from the source of life
I have let the scorching sun
Drink my soul dry
I have become a wanderer
With the wind
And let the cold become me
From the outside in
All the while you were whispering
I had only to listen

You said don’t let the world
Buffet you about
There is a higher path
than to become
A product of circumstance
You’ve crossed oceans
But the journey has just begun

I saw you in
The smile of a stranger
Offered whether or not
I reciprocated
I heard you in my mother’s voice
It was not her victory
But still she was elated
I felt you in the first day
That I felt spring
The winter tried to hold them back
But the flowers are rising
How I long to be
Consistent like that

Will you fix me to a mountain
Unshaken and unmoved
Will you fix me like a star
Shining you, shining you
