Must I ever wonder
This reckless land alone
Can I never find a place that I can call my home
The way you talk to me
Makes me want to dance
Makes me pick up my heels
Raise them in the face of harmless circumstance
And if I have the wings of an eagle
I’d carry us up into the sun
We could be warm forever
Living in the house of the holy ones
And if I had the songs to reach you
I’d sing until I could sing no more
But all I can do is echo the sounds of the greater voices calling
Must I ever wonder at the magic of it all
Can I never hold it in my hands, my heart, my goal?
The way you talk to me
Takes my breath away
And I curse this raven silence of mine
For everything I cannot say
Come together now
The energy’s complete
And here among the embers darling
Is the balance that we seek
And the mystery is no mystery
All reason is revealed
In the silence
You can hear it
Set the voices free
