lyrics

9. The Time, the Light, the Heart

“The song breathes forth from the mouth
And shakes the woods of their leaves
I reckon the song belongs to a woman
With dark and woven hair, I believe.
But don’t you quote me
I have a friend who’s seen her as clear as you and I
He said he was drawn by a voice
And that she was soft on the eyes.”

Bring me the time!
Bring me the light!
Bring me the heart of man in reds and golden whites!

It’s like she’s opening her arms
Dressed so lavishly charms
Begging us, not desperation
Just destination should we carry on.
All this time we’d never heard such sound before

Can we believe what we’ve just seen?
After the man explained, our hearts agreed.
What brilliance lungs can breathe!
“Wait you’ll see,” he said. “You’ll see.”

Bird sing, speak, your greetings unto me.
The town’s below, past this theater tree.
We’ve arrived apropos upon this great city!

Good morning, I sing and welcome you in.
Their bodies all moving in motion like spring.
Takes breath to behold their humble abode.
For when we’re here this brilliant city is our home.
Thank God we exist! In splendors like this!
Their bodies all moving in motion like spring.
Take rest for a while. We’ll bring your luggage inside.
Our walls keep out death, so rejoice! feel alive!
